Sittin' In the Sun: Bird Painting by kto ART

The 'Akikiki is so fun the paint because they look like little fluffballs! Also, they have a steel blue-grey cap and back, so I can have fun with background colors.

My 'Akikiki are happily perched on a stem of indigo plumeria. They seem to be enjoying a nice afternoon in the sunlight before sunset comes along.

'Akikiki are critically endangered and can only be found on the island of Kauai. The 'Akikiki has a portly little shape accentuated by its stubby tail. Usually the eye rings will fade as the 'Akikiki gets older, so these two must be young bloods. Just love 'em!
