Linda Kukuk (Choctaw)
Original Scratchwork with Watercolor
Finch
9.5 x 7.5 x 1 in

This vivid original artwork showcases Linda Kukuk’s signature blend of scratchboard precision and delicate watercolor detailing. Each feather is created through fine, deliberate strokes carved into the black board, revealing luminous highlights and intricate texture. Watercolor is then applied into the etched lines, enhancing depth without softening the crispness of the scratchwork.

The finch’s brilliant rose and crimson tones glow against the dark background, bringing the bird to life with remarkable clarity. Kukuk’s mastery of line work and color layering gives the piece a dimensional quality that feels both realistic and expressive.

A striking example of her award-winning technique, this original work is ready to display and ideal for collectors who appreciate meticulous craftsmanship and bold, vibrant imagery.
