Bald Stork Watercolours

All my paintings capture beauty of animal and plant kingdoms. Variety of shapes, sizes and colours always attracted my attention. It is unbelievable how many intrinsic details there are, in every inch of a natural world. As an artist you gradually start to notice these slight changes in tones, values and shapes.
This is a realistic painting of Bald Stork, painted on watercolor paper. Original painting, made with watercolor and gouache paints. There is a discreet signature in the bottom corner. All my watercolour paintings have my full signature and date at the back.
Some facts:
- Not Truly Bald: Bald storks aren’t completely featherless—most have sparse down or bare skin on their heads and necks, adapted for hygiene while feeding on carrion.
- Scavenger’s Advantage: Their bald heads help prevent bacteria buildup when feeding on carcasses—feathers would trap grime and rot.
- Massive Wingspan: Marabou storks can reach wingspans of up to 3.7 meters (12 feet)—among the largest of any bird.

Materials used are the highest quality, with best pigments and lightfastness. Both paints and varnish are professional quality. There is a matte finish to the varnished painting.
There is a frame attached, which comes together with plexiglass. Photos are made without plexiglass, to avoid reflecting light. It will be your choice, whether you want to hang the painting with or without plexiglass (however full frame including plexi will be provided). Please remember that this is watercolour painting so if hanged without plexiglass, might get destroyed more easily. I advise to use full frame.
