Macaws in the Sunshine Canvas Print

While on a recent cruise, I captured a lovely photo of these beautiful gold and blue macaw parrots. I enjoyed keeping the colors bright and painting the light and shadows in this painting. The video demonstration is on my YouTube channel, Monet Cafe' with Artist Susan Jenkins.
If you are interested in the original please contact me. This painting also makes lovely prints and products.

I have been painting and drawing from my earliest memories. I can't remember a time when I didn't want to be an artist. I graduated from the Universtiy of North Florida with a Bachelor's degree in Graphic Design and was awarded the "Most Outstanding Artist" title upon graduation. Although I work in many different mediums my favorite is pastels. I love the vibrant color that can be achieved. When I was a child I was so in love with color and would get so excited over a new box of crayons, colored pencils, markers, or watercolors. I get equally excited today when I see all of my beautiful pastels laid out and waiting for the next creation. I believe the results that can be achieved with pastels produce some of the most beautiful art ever...
