Smooth Talker-Scarlet Macaw

Close ups

This is my contribution to this week's WDE at Wet Canvas. Marilou was the gracious host this week and provided a bunch of great photos! Thank you, Marilou!

 The Scarlet Macaw...I really like these birds because of the attitudes they display. Looks as if this one is about to tell a joke....hope it's clean...maybe you should cover your ears! :lol:
Once again some painting knife was used in this one. Plenty of texture.

    1. Hi, Kaethe!

      The blues were basically composed of ult blue, pthalo blue, and a wee bit of aliz crimson.

  6. Dear Dean - what a fabulous bird...you captured his colors so well. He does look like he is getting to say something and perhaps if he is ornery we will need to cover our ears (LOL)! Have a great week and thank you for sharing.
