New Hyacinth Macaw Miniature Painting

I posted my recent painting of a Hyacinth Macaw on a rainforest branch. I am very fond of exotic birds such as macaws and other parrots. They all have such colorful personalities that are easily captured in a painting. It is also refreshing to use such bright colors since many of my paintings so often require subtle browns, grays, and neutral tones. I have hopes that one day these birds won’t be so threatened by loss of habitat and the pet trade. I don’t think there would be anything more beautiful to see than a flock of wild hyacinth macaws in the rainforest treetops. You can view one of the World Wildlife Fund’s projects to help the Hyacinth Macaw in Brazil @ http://www.wwf.org.br/english/informa/sitearara_projeto.htm "Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up."
