Comb-crested Jacana

oil on canvas, 10" x 20"

This jacana, or lotusbird, as it is otherwise known, is found in parts of Australia, the Philippines, and several other lesser islands of that region.  I love lily pads, lotus blossoms, and the still warm waters that bring them to life and symbolize for me the feeling of peace and calm.  This delicate little bird is like a flower itself, so perfectly matched to its environment.  Just another miracle of nature.
