Biodiversity

The jungles of Central America are especially beautiful and biodiverse - and dense! There is nothing to see except trees, green shapes, more trees, light and dark dapples, even more trees, and glimpses of fabulous creatures of all shapes and sizes. 

In my painting I have shown just a few of the creatures that live in the jungles there: a coatimundi ambles across the forest floor in the bottom left hand corner, an ocelot lurks beneath foliage in the bottom right hand corner, a sloth hangs from tree, a tamandua clambers down a tree hunting for ants' nests, a magenta-throated woodstar hummingbird, zips through from the right and higher up in the trees, a violatious trogon on the left and a pale-billed woodpecker on the right.
