African Grey parrot painting

Since I bought the adorable book "From the wild" back in the 90s, I always wanted to paint animals, too.

Well, today I finished my very first painting of an african grey parrot. Muu was a great model and got some extra-snack for sitting still.

Done with acrylics and airbrush on paper... size is 19,5 x 15 cm.

In a private collection.
