Violet-green swallow

The reverse design recreates the violet-green swallow’s breathtaking green and blue-hued plumage and violet tail through the striking use of selective colour. Taking a break from its aerial hunting activities, this insectivore is perched on a swooping tree branch that is covered inwestern tree lichens. The clean contrast between the metallic-like upperparts and the bright white underparts further enhances the detailedpattern, bringing stunning depth and dimension to the overall composition.
