Impressionist Acrylic and Oil Painting of a Quetzal, "National Bird"

The sacred birds of the ancient Maya culture, quetzals are national symbols for the Guatemalan people as they unite the country in a common sentiment of pride for those glorious pre-Columbian days. As an homage to quetzals, artisan Ricardo González creates an adorable acrylic and oil painting depicting the little creature in all its beauty.

The work, titled Ave Nacional in Spanish, comes signed and stretched, ready to add a little piece of Guatemala to your home decor.
