The Macaw has Landed

NFS

This is my response to an artist friend's challenge to paint animal statues in saturated hues. Mr Macaw is just a few centimetres high and sits on a little branch - I just couldn't resist perching him on a lemon to get the plastic model to a suitable painting level. Thank you Dirk for the challenge and the persistence to get it done before my packing and travelling to Tuscany.  The painting took just under an hour using Harding's oils on canvas, and pressure and speed paid off :-)
