A blue jay grips a pine bough in this expressive palette-knife oil painting. Thick, sculpted impasto builds the bird's feathers in bold raised slabs of azure, white and slate, each stroke catching the light with real texture. Against a deep evergreen background, the jay stands out crisply, vivid and alive. A striking piece for lovers of birds and richly textured fine art.
