Painting of a kingfisher with green and blue feathers perched on a reed among tall grasses beside a pale blue water surface.

Kingfisher by the Waterside

A kingfisher with iridescent green and blue plumage and an orange-tinted breast perches on a reed among tall grasses in the foreground. Loose, visible brushstrokes render the water and grasses in muted blue-green and ochre, giving the painting an impressionistic, painterly surface.
