Mr Macaw-Parrot

Close ups

Oil on 6X6 canvas panel.

This is my contribution to this week's WDE at Wet Canvas. Joel was the great host who supplied a lot of great reference photos!

The colorful macaw called out to be painted! And he's quite a talker!

In some spots I lay the paint on thick with a palette knife then manipulated with a brush.

C&C welcome. Thanks for looking!

In case I don't have time for a timely post, Happy Father's Day!!!!

  1. Really, really, good. How did you managed the delicate lines around the eyes?

    Charity - for sure! My mother raised us on this and she led by example.

    Happy fathers Day, Dean.

  4. Hi there Dean! You have captured the head-cocking stare that these colourful characters all seem to possess!

    Often... their language can be as "colourful" as their plumage! HA HA!!

    A great painting!

    Good Painting!
    Warmest regards,
    Bruce

    J'aime son oeil vif qui semble nous observer.
    Une très jolie peinture.

    Gros bisous à vous.
