Product Description:
A desert tale as old as time unfolds in “The Birds and the Bees,” an original 12" x 24" watercolor and airbrushed painting by Ian Russell. In this lively Southwestern scene, a charismatic Gambel’s quail parent rallies a rowdy bunch of fluffy chicks as they explore a desert watering hole. From curious expressions to cautious sips, each baby quail radiates personality—and if you look closely, the buzzing bees add a cheeky nod to the painting’s title.

Framed in a custom hand-built rustic frame by the artist, this panoramic piece is bursting with life, humor, and desert beauty. It’s a celebration of nature’s rhythms and the joy of the everyday wild.
