New Hyacinth Macaw Miniature Painting

I posted my recent painting of a Hyacinth Macaw on a rainforest branch. I am very fond of exotic birds such as macaws and other parrots. They all have such colorful personalities that are easily captured in a painting. It is also refreshing to use such bright colors since many of my paintings so often require subtle browns, grays, and neutral tones. I have hopes that one day these birds won't be so threatened by loss of habitat and the pet trade. I don't think there would be anything more beautiful to see than a flock of wild hyacinth macaws in the rainforest treetops.
