🎶Christmas is coming, the goose is getting fat—oh wait, wrong song. 😅 Anyway, here’s a partridge in a pear tree that I painted as an ornament design! Oil on wood, 4 inches round.

"Native to the Middle East and southern Asia, the Chukar was brought as a game bird to North America, where it has thrived in some arid regions of the west. From late summer to early spring, Chukars travel in coveys, but they may be hard to see as they range through the brush of steep desert canyons. They become more conspicuous in spring, when the harsh cackling chuk chuk chukar of the territorial males echoes from the rocky cliffs."
