Artist’s notes:

The Green Kingfisher illustration was completed on 5.25.2013. I love the kinfishers. As I understand it, it was actually this species that the cartoon character “Woody Woodpecker” might have been based on – and it’s easy to see why with their oversized heads, crazy choppy cowls and massive beak they are pretty comical looking. But they are also very beautiful and engaging. I have loved to watch them alongside rivers and streams perched, and then suddenly diving into the water to come up with a small fish. The drawing is based on a photo by Patty Bruno.
