A bit more progress on the parrots. After taking a good long look at the picture yesterday evening, I realized that the bottom front parrot was too small in comparison with the two birds behind. So I have made him bigger (blue outline – and the beauty of cover-up oil paint)! The light has faded very quickly today and even though I have a couple of very expensive daylight lights, the colours are not coming out the way I would wish, and look totally different when seen in natural light. So enough for today.
How SMALL is that bottom Macaw!!!

The Blue Macaw in the Blue – now slightly larger and looking good!

A Bit more detail to the background
Blue and Gold Macaws now have a Red Swamp Hibiscus to look at!
