I love painting birds and I love painting plants, so I decided to combine the two in this illustration of a male Somali ostrich (Struthio molybdophanes) with an umbrella thorn acacia tree (Vachellia tortilis). The Somali ostrich is one of two living ostrich species, which both make up the family Struthionidae. Part of its diet includes the pods and leaves of the umbrella thorn tree, hence its inclusion in this painting.
I had a blast working on this, and I really hope I can paint more birds (or at least more ratites/palaeognaths) in this style. This painting is watercolor on hot press paper, 8x10 inches.
