Radiant Macaw

18 x  24 x 1.5 in | Oil on Canvas | 2024

Bring the brilliance of the tropics into your home with Scarlet Stillness, an original oil painting by Catherine Zanghi. This work captures the striking presence of a scarlet macaw perched against a serene, jewel-toned  waterfall background.

Created with a subtractive glaze method, the painting begins with a rich dark base layer. Using specialized subtraction tools, the artist lifts away light from shadow, unveiling glowing highlights and depth. This process achieves luminous color transitions—vivid reds, emerald greens, and sapphire blues—that make the macaw appear almost alive.

Perfect for collectors and nature lovers, Scarlet Stillness celebrates the harmony of vibrant wildlife and contemplative calm. The painting’s edge depth of 1.5” allows for elegant display with or without framing.
