I am unable to recall where I found these baby birds to paint. They were so sweet and precious, I wanted to capture them in a painting.

The birds and waterfall were referenced at Cypress Gardens, FL. Cypress Gardens was a treasure trove of spectacular images and subjects for painting. It was my favorite place for creating art.

This “Intruder” was referenced in Silver Springs, FL. They seemed very annoyed at the approaching people thus the title “Intruder”. I love the pink and turquoise colors so prevalent in Florida so I took artistic license and made the sky pink.

This painting of sleeping ducks was referenced in the butterfly atrium at Cypress Gardens, FL. I used the third duck on the log for the painting named “Sleepytime Duck”.

This macaw was clinging to his cage at the Down The Hatch restaurant in Port Orange, FL near Ponce Inlet Lighthouse. It was in such an unusual position from the norm, I thought it would make an interesting painting.

The macaw in this painting was referenced at the Sanford Zoo in Sanford, FL. I played with the perspective in this painting. I feel it can be mesmerizing with the different levels of perception.

The macaw in this painting was referenced at the Sanford Zoo in Sanford, FL. The foliage was referenced from various places in Florida including my backyard. The sunrise was taken from a sunrise at Playlinda Beach, FL.

This painting was referenced at the aviary at Lowery Park Zoo in Tampa, Florida. I had the perfect camera shot when the wind came and blew the leaves over the birds head causing him to look up. I think it turned out even better than what I had planned. Sometimes the unexpected causes the best results. This bird really does exist.
