Alright, let me tell you, this canvas print! It’s something else entirely, ready to completely revamp your room’s vibe. We’re talking about the Blacksmith Lapwing, Vanellus armatus if you want to get fancy, captured in all its audacious glory; it’s like seeing a slice of the wild frozen perfectly still. This bird, seriously, it’s got plumage like sharply cut shadows and bright light playing together, a real regular down in the Ngorongoro Crater where it adds a certain… well, let’s just say it makes its presence felt against the sprawling earth tones.
You get this on canvas, and bang, those stark feathers, the intense darks and the definite pales, just leap out; it’s almost like the bird flew right out of Ngorongoro and onto your wall, a true figure of speech made real.
The most eye-catching thing, no doubt, is that intense black and white feathering, rendered just beautifully on the textured canvas surface. Deep, rich black flowing over its head and chest and back bits, stark against the clean, crisp white of its belly and wing sections – it’s not unlike looking at perfectly arranged piano keys.
Finishing the whole picture are the bird’s bill and legs, both as black as coal, completing this creature’s naturally striking and ever-watchful appearance – sleek and smart and sharp. It’s a statement piece, because, well, “a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush” doesn’t quite cover art that brings the bush to you.
