About this print
- California quail with its signature curled head plume
- Umber, cream and olive on a deep slate blue ground
- Cropped composition, like a glimpse through the brush
- Part of The Wild Ones minimalist animal series
The Forager is a California quail art print drawn in calm, simple shapes. The bird stands side on with its curled black plume, a cream band around its dark face, and a speckled umber wing. The body is cropped at the edge of the frame, the way you catch a quail for a moment in the brush before it is gone.
The palette is warm umber, cream, and olive set on deep slate blue. It is minimalist bird art with a Western soul, quiet enough for a bedroom and bold enough to hold a wall on its own.
It hangs well over a black leather sofa or a reading chair, and it fits a kitchen or breakfast nook. Part of The Wild Ones collection. Choose a matte print, or have it framed by hand in Phoenix in black, white, walnut, or natural wood, with or without a white mat.

Questions about The Forager
What bird is The Forager?
A California quail, shown with its curled head plume, dark face with a cream band, and speckled wing, set on a slate blue background.
What size works over a sofa?
An 18x24 reads well over a loveseat, and a 24x36 fills the wall over a full sofa. For a kitchen or nook, 11x14 or 12x18 is plenty.
Good to know
What is the difference between Print and Framed Print?
Print ships as the artwork alone on heavyweight matte stock. Framed Print arrives in your choice of black, white, walnut, or natural wood frames, ready to hang.
How long until my order ships?
Every Frontier Prints piece is made to order. Prints ship in 3 to 5 business days, framed pieces in 5 to 7.
Will the colors match my screen?
Screens differ, so expect slight shifts in color. Wood grain on walnut frames is unique to each piece.
Do framed prints have glass?
No. Framed pieces have an acrylic or styrene front, never glass. It is lighter than glass and much less likely to shatter, so it is safer to ship and to hang.
Are prints signed or numbered?
No. Prints are open edition and are not signed or numbered.
