I painted this Scarlet Macaw with a brush and painting knife. I like the rich, impasto, surface.

  2. Léo serait fier aujourd'hui de dire à ce beau perroquet : "Salut l'ami!"...

    J'aime beaucoup son regard.
    Les nuances de couleurs sont extrêmement belles et tranchent parfaitement bien avec les tons de votre fond.
    Une peinture qui me parle bien !

    De gros bisous et si je ne trouve pas un petit moment avant mon départ pour vous faire un coucou, sachez que je serai de retour à la mi-septembre.

    Leo would be proud today to say at this beautiful parrot: "Hi friend!" ...

    I love her look.
    The shades of colors are extremely beautiful and perfectly contrast with the tone of your background.
    A painting that speaks well!

    Big kisses and if I can not find a little time before I left for a cuckoo to you, know that I'll be back in mid-September.

    Thank you, Martine!
    I know our birds would be pals! The toucan and the macaw!!!:)

  9. Hi Julie...Yes, I'm pretty pleased with much of this one. I'm still working at your fracturing method (background). Trying to get it under some sort of control.
