I have this one perched on an antique crock (on top of my Baker's Cabinet)... looking up at a blue jay painting that my son bought for me. I love how the two works of art look together. I have purchased many of Mauricio's birds for myself and to give as gifts. All are incredible works of art.
This was a gift to myself after getting royalties for my latest book. It is a glorious addition to my owl collection. I am grateful for such crestivity.
I do appreciate these artists who create the Oaxacan detail techniques of painting and carving. This is a great example of how that is done. I will look forward to collecting more from these artisans!
