Perched in the center of a glowing round maple wood tondo, a pudgy little blue bird sits happily among a scatter of leaves. His round belly and tiny beak give him an endearing, almost storybook charm, while soft shades of sky and cobalt blue make him look as if he’s made from a piece of the summer sky itself.
Hints of gold leaf sparkle in the leaves and around his feathery outline, as though the bird is basking in a patch of magical sunlight. The foliage cradles him like a cozy nest.
The circular format makes the whole scene feel like a jewel—small, bright, and full of joy—celebrating the simple delight of spotting a plump, cheerful bird in nature.
