Beautiful!

Oh yes that budgie does look terrific!

Can I make a suggestion for maybe parrot number 10b - the rainbow lorikeet? I’d love to see your take on that riot of colour!

First one out of the box is: Remarkable!

 

[Kiwibird]

Thanks all! I plan to do a cockatiel next, but first I have to finish a commission piece that will no doubt take a few more days.

Ooooohhhhh a lorikeet! They are very colorful and common in some parts of the world (I think?).

April, that's incredible!!! I was thinking (dunno why, but I was) that he'd be a predictable water colour painting of your usual budgie. What you've done is alive and vibrant and it expresses the big-bird-in-a-little-bird's-body nature of a budge *perfectly*! Can't wait to see more of your amazing art.

Wow! Just... WOW! I'm not usually at a loss for words, but that's all I got. Beautiful work. Thank you for sharing it with us. Can't wait for the next one!

Lol. Ya not exactly a simple watercolor My art style, as far as I can tell. is pretty unique.

Likely because it is influenced by an Amazon!

Cool style ! Its like a combination of psyadelic and mezo-American. Like an Aztec on acid style. Me likey. Cant wait til you get to the exotic parrots, so I can submit Salty's species, a yellow shoulder Amazon.

You are an amazing artist!!!! It's perfect in every way!!! As is every piece of art I've seen you post!!

[Squeekmouse]

You should make 12 pictures and make a calendar out of it... I'd like to Pre-order the first one.

You are a fantastic artist Kiwibird. Your style reminds me of Australian Indigenous Art which I love. And I second the calendar of 12 pics of yours...what about blank greeting cards as well???? More please .

This is my new favorite!!!! Wow, I love it!!! How wonderful you are in this world making all this outstanding bird art!!!

 

[Jottlebot]

Wow! Ok, can I add my vote in for the Alexandrine, I don't even care if the decision has already been made (and also strictly speaking it probably should be an IRN because I think they are probably FAR more well-known)!? I just want to see an Alex in your style. I'm thinking mugs and t-shirts....like, seriously!!

LOL...which list are you using Kiwibird? Wrenches? I would like a female with that male Eclectus please...together they would be a dynamite picture pair! The winners of all prizes...the prettiest of the lot...no other bird could hold a candle to them....they should have been number one on the list

 

[Kiwibird]

You guys are awesome! I love the suggestion of doing 2 “bonus birds” and making it a calendar. I will have to explore the options on HOW to do that. I am already looking into shirts for this series, but again I have to figure out how/where. I do have a company I can order fine art prints from I’ve been using for printing the couple commissions I’ve gotten, but that’s all they do. It’ll probably take me some time to figure out how to put my art on anything else and find somewhere that can print something like a shirt and have it be anywhere close to the right colors. While I may be talented at art, I have no mind for business stuff at all. I think I’m a pretty typical artist in that way

I’m using the list I posted, #10 is still up in the air though. And yes! I am doing a male/female eclectus in one drawing:red:
