Description

This is a 9 x 12 Acrylic Painting on white Canvas. It is a painting from a photo from Gary Jones. The bird is an Eurasian Blue Tit, they are famous for their skill, as they can cling to the outermost branches and hang upside down when looking for food. They are very agile and can hang from almost anywhere.

This is a popular European garden bird, due to its perky acrobatic performances when feeding on nuts or suet. It swings beneath the feeders.
The Eurasian blue tit is usually about 5" long. A typical Eurasian blue tit has an azure blue crown and dark black line passing through the eye, and then a dark blue encircling the white cheeks to the chin, giving the bird a very distinctive appearance. The forehead and a bar on the wing are white. The nape, wings and tail are blue and the back is yellowish green. The under parts is mostly greenish-yellow with a dark blue-black line down the abdomen - the yellowness is indicative of the number of yellowy-green caterpillars eaten, due to high levels of carotene pigments in the diet.
