Toucan

Linda Kukuk (Choctaw)
Original Framed Scratchwork with Watercolor 

11.5 x 9.5 x 1 in

Vibrant, detailed, and full of life, this original piece showcases Linda Kukuk’s signature blend of scratchboard technique with hand-applied watercolor. Kukuk is known for her remarkable precision, each fine line is carved into the black board to reveal form, texture, and movement. Watercolor is then layered into the scratched areas, adding luminous color without losing the tactile quality of the medium.

This striking toucan appears to step beyond its frame, a hallmark of Kukuk’s dynamic compositions. Every feather, highlight, and curve of the beak is rendered through hundreds of deliberate strokes, making this a true one-of-a-kind work.

A powerful example of Kukuk’s mastery of scratchwork and color, this original artwork is ready to display and perfect for collectors who appreciate meticulous craftsmanship and bold visual storytelling.
