Macaw and a cat

As you can see, I have the Macaw sketched, and a little work going on in the background.

I've added a little of the brilliant colors to his glorious head! I am still playing with the back ground.

I've started in on the blues of his feathers- how beautiful these birds are- WOW!

I'm using my own photo references.I love taking photos, mostly at zoos when my hubby and I get to travel. We have children scattered all over, so we are on the road quite often. We usually take along our grand-cat, Miss MaLee. You can see a photo of her at the end of this post.

I'm still not thrilled with the background, but I will dabble a bit more on that a little later...





 MaLee, doing a little critiquing for me. We hope you'll come back and see the finished product!!!

Blessings,

Starting with a lose sketch. I plan to add flag stripes to the background.

Working on the lay-in of the eagle. Isn't he grand? I love birds, and am especially proud of the American Eagle. I'd love to touch one. Maybe I can add that to my bucket list!!!

As I've mentioned before, we have our car riding Malee. We just returned from a short getaway.Of course she went with us.I found her a new traveling dress. She wears the dresses to keep her loose hair at bay, as well as to keep her warm. She does not like cold at all. I think she is a happy girl living in south Texas where the weather is still in the eighties, and sometimes nineties, even in October- December! Besides loving to travel with my husband and I, she loves laying around on our screened and covered patio (safe from feral kitties that roam around here quiet a bit), soaking up the sun, watching the bird feeders in our backyard.
