Oil on black canvas, 5x7, $68 including shipping. The dunlin is a small, quick shore bird, a wader, that nests up around the Arctic Circle and winters all along the east and west coasts of the US and Canada. It's named for the dun, or brownish-gray,  color it shows during its non-breeding seasons. During breeding time, the males have the lovely rust-colored plumage I painted, and the dark spot on their bellies.  For more information on the dunlin, click here.
