Look what I am getting.................

......... it is of one of my birds.

Wow :silly: :ohmy: :side: :woohoo: :silly:

That is lovely! Is it a portrait of one of your birds? Is it an Ecelectus?

Yes, an eclectus. Part of the family, along with all the other umpteen birds here. :blink:

Hell's teeth, I do hope it's not 1:1. No-one would be safe! :whistle: :evil:

great artwork.

Very nicely done

That's great. Have you done pictures of that scale before? Do you draw it and keep checking from further away, or plot it out with measurements?

My bird's bigger than your bird?

Finished. :ohmy: :kiss: Amazing detailing in the feathers.

I am so impressed it is thought I am capable of painting such a masterpiece. :blush: Stick animals are more my artistic ability. :whistle:

The guy that painted it based it on photos he took and many trip back to Lucci's cage to check on the "real" thing. He did originally draw the outline, painted in the tail as black and the head as green and sprayed much of the rest. The detail was sprayed and painted. Many walks back to view from a distance but no measuring.

He has been a helper staying here with his girlfriend in their way travelling around NZ. Will be leaving tonight on the next leg of their trip leaving me with a lasting treasure of his time with us.

That truly is a piece of incredible art ...you are very spoilt Spoook
Cheers

Gee if he wants roof and board in Thames - gimme a call . . . .LOL

Wow, that is very impressive! Beats a butterfly stuck on the wall, hands down.
