Amy a Blue Front 'Zon
Jonesy a Goffins 'Too who had to be rehomed :-(

And a Normal Grey Cockatiel named BB who came home with me on 5/20/2016.
...here is another example of the brilliant artistic ability of our own Ms. Gail (GaleriaGila)
I had asked Gail if she would consider doing a portrait of my little green girl,Amy,and she graciously agreed :D
So I emailed her about 8 photo's and asked her to use her judgement and pick the picture she thought would be the best,and she picked the one that I have as an avatar.

Its PERFECT! I'd know that green and yellow and blue face anywhere! And those eyes!!

So I thought I'd share..Gail, I can't thank you enough. Another awesome job.
Now to find the proper place to hang Amy up :)


Jim

Beautiful! Seeing Amy makes me miss Oliver. I believe Amy looks just like that, right? She captured Gus and Oliver PERFECTLY. Better than any photo.

Wow! As always, I'm blown away by Abigail's artistic talent! And as Al mentioned, there's just something special about what she manages with the eyes!

Glad you shared that beautiful rendering of Amy, Jim.

I find myself standing in the light of truly, yet another, work of Art! Each of the Artist member's here have their very special ways of presentation and I love each and ever one! Whether a DIY Project for their home or Parrot. A presentation of detail that I become lost in its depth or in this case the Pure Essence of Amazona!

Gail, Thank-you for bring your skills and deep heart to this Forum!

Wow, great job! I am going to a animal shelter fund raiser next week and I will be painting my Romeo- an African grey that past 3 years ago. I'm hoping I can do as good a job!
