04-11-2013 I enjoyed researching this red and green macaw for my watercolor painting. It was so easy to get whisked away to tropical settings with bright colorful animal life. Most of our backyard birds here are brown and black with the occasion cardinal, gold finch or blue jay. Imagine my surprise if I were to see a neon green or a triple colored bird like this at our feeder!

Beautiful macaw...it would be exciting... I'm not much for caged birds so flying free would be very happy for me to see!!

Fabulous piece, very tropical!
Beautiful colours. We get Lorikeets and cockatoos in our garden in Brisbane. I emigrated here from the UK just over a year ago it was like walking into a tropical paradise, they are a pleasure to see but do make an awful squawking noise!!
Lovely illustration with awesome colors that delight the eye ~ ^_^
Yes, it immediately brings me right to the tropics! Great work!
loving your Macaw with its fab colourings. Happy PPF, Annette x

Lovely work, that bird has bit of a sly expression!
Beautiful colours, lovely drawing.
It's cold and rainy and dreary here, thanks for the dip into the tropics with your colorful painting. Happy PPF. xox
We have these gorgeous Sulpher crested cockatoos and Rainbow Lorikeets which come and visit the seed pods on one of our trees and the whole tree becomes a mass of colour... and this reminds me of what it looks like... just perfect...xx
Lovely, lively and vibrant! <3
Gorgeous colors! We too only have pretty drab colored birds in my area other than the occasional cardinal. I did see a lovely robin sitting on the fence post at my boyfriend's house but he flew away before I could get my camera out.
Ohh, I love this one Mary, it's very bright and vibrant. Cool!!
What a great job of watercolor. The McCaw is beautiful.

Beautiful! I love all the bright colors. :)
Lovely parrot! I love the bright colors. Makes me really want to go to some sort of jungle! lol
just the color we need to liven up our gray weather...beautiful parrot! love that you've captured his movement...happy PPF!
I still get a thrill from seeing flocks of lorikeets, cockatoos, and rosellas flying over after nearly four years in Australia. There's something fabulous about brightly coloured birds and you've captured this one beautifully.
Funny to imagine a parrot or macaw in the backyard! Beautiful drawing and water colour!
Happy belated PPF!
