Finished One of a Pair

10 x 20 oil on canvas panel

Finally finished my parrot today.  We have been out of town and I haven't painted in a couple of weeks and I'm feeling a little rusty!!!  Glad to be back at the easel.

Finished Parrot

Finally!  I was able to finish my parrot today.  We went to Atlanta for the weekend but prior to that, the day I started the parrot, I came home from painting and found that my refrigerator/freezer had quit working and it was jammed packed with food.  The frozen had already mostly thawed (I was gone all day) so I had to start cooking.   Between that and packing and getting ready for Atlanta and shopping for the "grands", I was worn out and had no time to finish.  I like the way the parrot turned out but had to just make up the background because the actual photo was way too busy.

Back in the saddle again after a week of not painting!  I hate to be away from painting this long but I LOVE going to Atlanta to see my grandchildren.  They change so much in 3 months time!  I went to my painting group today and painted these parrots.  I have been wanting to paint them for a while.  I will probably work on them a bit more - especially their talons/claws but wanted to go ahead and post since I haven't done so in a while.
