Framed Hand Crafted Bird Art from India, "Exotic Bird"

Inspired by a centuries-old relief painting technique found on Indian temples, Neelima Gupta creates this enchanting painting of a solitary bird singing in a tree of purple blossoms. The artisan uses marble dust mixed with a thickening adhesive to create the raised image, then brings the bird to life by hand painting it in rich oil colors. The artwork arrives in a neem wood frame.
