Painting 30 in 30 - Day 23/Macaw

"The Preen"
7" x 12"
watercolor on Arches 140 lb. coldpress


Feathers and more feathers today, I got

Enjoyed this one. 
I personally met this bird, Mya,
while RVing in Oregon a few

campground loop.  What a magnificent
macaw!  Took lots of photos
of course (knowing that someday
I would paint her) and the owner allowed 
me to allow the bird to perch
on my arm and we 
talked for quite awhile
about her.  Neat experience.
