Jeu De Cartes Celestial Kingfisher: A Study in Azure and Gold

This striking artwork features a vibrant common kingfisher perched gracefully on a curved green branch. The bird is rendered with bold, expressive brushstrokes in shades of electric blue, bright orange, and snowy white, topped with a delicate gold-speckled crown. It is framed by a luminous pink halo encircled by a thin gold ring, creating a celestial, icon-like quality. The background is a soft, minimalist mint green with subtle vertical gold leaf drips, blending natural wildlife observation with modern symbolic abstraction. Small, stylized floral accents at the base add a touch of delicate whimsy to the overall powerful composition.
