This bark painting is a stellar example of a dramatic scene including two birds. The coloration is more traditional with earthy colors.

Bark paintings are created using papel amate or paper made from bark.  The colorful subject matter are birds and animals or festive scenes from Mexican life such as weddings, farming, festivals and nature.  This painting is done by Nahua Indian artists Agustin and Agustina Vargez Martinez in the Mexican state of Guerrero.  The detail and  color combinations are lovely.  These bark paintings are easily framed with a complimentary  mat.
