"Cacique" by Sara Starr

"Cacique" is a high-fire tile that I brought to La Penita, Mexico, as a gift to the gallery owner who hosted our plein aire oil painting workshop. Caciques are related to orioles and grackles, and several of them reside in the garden next to the house we rented for our trip. A fabulous bird! I hope to post some results from my workshop soon!
