Default Jerry's on the wall

The picture that Jac drew for me has been framed for a few weeks and it was finally hung last week! It hangs in our front hallway off the living room, and it's the first real piece of Parrot artwork that's showcased - and I think he looks fabulous up there!

Thank you again Jac for drawing this, I just love it!

That is gorgeous!! Well done guys!

Jac are you taking orders yet? I've got two red heads that don't mind posing.

I'm so happy.
Artists love to spread their art everywhere. It looks so much better framed. As an artist you don't always get to frame everything but when you do it always looks more like 'art' - even the ones no one was taking seriously.


Sure i'll take orders - but a donation would be nice. *hint hint*

Sarah already donated so many quality bird toys & treats i think I'm still in the red with her. [& I know she did it purely out of generosity - that's what made doing Jerry's portrait so much fun]

Wonder what it would be like to do a Macaw???? - send me a photo you love & I'll experiment - nothing ventured, nothing gained. No charge for 1st time efforts. Guess Bee didn't see the one i did of Valo - or she didn't enjoy her portrait in the shadows ... so not everyone will like the results, every time!

I agree, his expression has been captured so well!

I really tried to get Jerry to pose next to his picture, but last night he was really rambunctious and couldn't understand why I wanted him to go all the way over there - so he kept flying away to his gyms. But eventually I hope to get him next to the portrait!

Oh my gosh! That's incredible Jac! Ollie loves to pose as well, and she's wondering how much a "donation" would be for one the size of Jerry's...

I love Greys - but all those lovely scalloped feathers are worse than a Budgie's markings!!!!!

I will ponder this...... but you could also send me a cool photo to 'see'.

My class has an Art Show coming up this winter [Jan/Feb/March] - mostly for my students & my work be featured as well - i could add some bird art - but you guys would have to wait until the show is over to get them....
