Quails in Cactus

Gambels quail in prickly pear original watercolor painting

"Natural Beauty" - Watercolor painting on 140 lb paper - 10" x 8"

Early in my career I was asked to do some designs for a local note card/ Christmas card company.  This was one of the the first designs that was published by them.  It was a popular card and I then published it as a print. And, it has been popular as a print.

Quails are very family oriented.  The little chicks follow their mommies through the desert, across roads and into the brush.  This sweet couple seem to be contemplating starting a family and looking to the future. 

This has always been a popular image and a big seller for me. It's a little sad to let this painting go, but I'm clearing out my studio and this painting along with the companion painting, need to find a new home. 

This painting is not currently matted or framed. 

Monitor settings may make a difference in the colors and values you see.  I've adjusted these photos to look as close to the originals as possible, but I cannot see what is on your monitor.  There is more information on my FAQ page about monitor settings.
