No. 84: Belted Kingfisher III Watercolor

The belted kingfisher is the only kingfisher in North America.  Perched on a tree branch over their favorite water source, they "dive-bomb" into the water to retrieve small fish.  Their brilliant blue color is a sure giveaway. This original watercolor measures 12" x 16" surrounded by a 16" x 20" cobalt blue matboard.  It sells for $225 which includes shipping.  To learn more about this painting, please contact me at cajuntom55@gmail.com. Enjoy.

No. 83: Spotted Salamander III Watercolor

The spotted salamander is quite common in Missouri but rarely seen. Measuring from 4 to 8 inches in length, these beautiful secretive creatures breed in the spring in temporary or "ephemeral" ponds lacking predators like fish who feed on their eggs. This original watercolor measures 8" x 11" surrounded by a 11" x 14" cream-colored matboard.  It sells for $135 which includes shipping.  To learn more about this painting, please contact me at cajuntom55@gmail.com.  Enjoy.
