A black ostrich stands centered against a soft blue background, its long neck extended upward and its powerful legs planted firmly below in a confident stance. Rendered with photographic realism, the bird wears colorful striped arm bands on its thin legs and displays a calm, almost humorous dignity that transforms the exotic animal into an unexpectedly relatable character. Printed on clear acrylic and made to order in two sizes. A serving piece for the dinner party or a pop of color as a kitchen accent, carrying an independent artist's work instead of a big-box print.
