The Keel-Billed Toucans are done in oils and are framed. You can purchase the painting from my web site The background is done with a knife in soft colors to accent the pretty birds.  I have been reading up on them and found their bills are soft  and can be pliable.

This painting in oils was done from a photo I had permission to use.   I have seen lots of gators but none sunning in a tree. I had to try my brush at the event.   I hope you like what I have done.
