About Colorul Pittas: The birds in this puzzle are called pittas. They stand out with their velvet-black heads, snow-white breasts, and a bold splash of scarlet across the belly. Iridescent greens and blues shimmer on their wings, catching light like polished gemstones. A crisp white wing patch flashes when they move, a quick signal in the dim forest understory. Their long, pale legs give them a poised, almost delicate stance as they pick their way along stream edges. Known for their secretive nature, they slip through humid tropical forests with quiet, deliberate hops. When they call, the sound is a clear, flute-like whistle that seems to float between the trees. They feed on beetles, worms, and hidden prey wrestled from the leaf litter. The illustration, this puzzle is based on, captures them at an intimate moment - fresh from the water, alert, and vibrant. // Image Credit: Gould, John. 1880. “Great Pitta, Leucopitta Maxima.” Monograph of the Pittidae 1.

Fehmarn Houses" is a vibrant and expressive depiction of rural houses on the island of Fehmarn, located in the Baltic Sea off the northern coast of Germany. Kirchner visited this island frequently, and it became a significant source of inspiration for his work, particularly between 1908 and 1914. The painting showcases Kirchner’s distinct expressionist style, characterized by bold brushstrokes, intense colors, and a sense of movement. The houses are depicted with exaggerated forms and colors, which convey the emotional impact of the landscape rather than a realistic portrayal. The thatched roofs and half-timbered walls are rendered in deep, vivid colors, set against a swirling, dynamic sky that is typical of Kirchner's expressive use of color and form.
