'African grey parrot and friend', acrylics, 14 by 11 ins, paper.
I like the idea of combining realism with more abstract patterned approaches to portraits. So this is a practice with a slightly more realistic treatment of colour for the portrait.
(The female was inspired by a photo image of an African woman from Annie Hamman, an artist on the LFI 17 course.)
Many people keep these friendly parrots as pets, but they are on the endangered list in their native African habitat.
Bye for now!

June, your painting is so warm, colorful and stunningly beautiful!!!
African Grey parrots are so beautiful and intelligent but it is a shame that they should be caged and removed from the freedom of their environment~
Gorgeous art, June. Love it.
Have a happy day xx

This is a wonderful painting. I knew it was inspired by Annie Hamman in LFI. I love the way you took it and made a lovely scene with the parrot! Nice work. :)
