Today's free phone wallpaper is a Clay-Colored Thrush, the national bird of Costa Rica.

I don't use AI to do any of my work. Here's the speedpaint from Procreate: makertube.net/w/ucYqn8kD5cy88u

The pic that inspired this image is here: unsplash.com/photos/0e1BVimPGo

Enjoy! Perhaps it will find a home on your phone!

Illustrated phone wallpaper of a Clay-Colored Thrush, perched on a branch and looking to the left. Behind the bird is a textured paper pattern with a bokeh lighting effect and a dark green gradient at the top and a yellow-green gradient at the bottom. Surrounding the bird is crosshatching and a double halo of gold.

@Coreyartus

Your painting is beautiful but i'm that guy who has never figured out why Clay-Colored Thrush/Robin is their national bird when they have so many, many, many, many options

There must be a story behind that!

A photo of a male Resplendent Quetzal in in a green tree in Costa Rica. This Quetzel is a brilliant green bird with a long ribbon of a green tail as well as a bright scarlet belly and snow-white undertail. Photo by peachfront c. 2008.

@peachfront I just mentioned this to my husband just a few hours ago as I was finishing it up!! LOL!

You're right--there must be a reason. There are some very exotic birds down there--certainly more colorful than this one! But I'm sure there's a rationale we just don't know! LOL! :)
