My cockatoo miniature painting is coming along well, I think. :) I will post a "nearly completed" photo of it soon for everyone to see.
The rough graphite sketch on the left is of a scarlet macaw. I studied the bird during one of our excursions to Florida for some much needed painting references a number of years ago. I always love painting parrots – the brightly colored feathers are just fantastic!
I hope to get more fresh reference of parrots as well as other birds to paint in the near future.
My mother-in-law has two paintings. one of a parrot and the other of an egret. these pictures are over 100 hundred years old and are beautiful!!!!!! However, the pictures are not numbered and there is no artist name. These paintings have been done in actual feathers. No paint has been used. I have never seen anything like this. I was wondering who could have down such masterful and beautiful work???????
Thank you
Eve
