🕊️ *The Quiet Perch II* brings a kingfisher to life in vivid cobalt blues, shimmering highlights, and fiery orange details. This 11x14 acrylic-and-oil original on canvas panel was created in Spring 2024 during a Marion Dutton workshop in England, then finished by Hope Blakely in Arvada, Colorado.  
✨ Layers of shimmer paint catch the light, giving the bird’s feathers a luminous depth.  
🎨 A companion piece to the original “Quiet Perch,” this version is offered unframed.  
🌊 A perfect statement for bird lovers, collectors, and anyone drawn to the quiet beauty of nature.
