      So how long has it been since I pained a PYO? A damn long time!!! LOL!

      This was a comission for a griffin in the design of a Bourke Parakeet named Brett. With moving and everything he took quite a while to finish, but he’s finally all done! I’m pretty pleased with how he came out considering how many breaks I took in between working on him. It actually worked out good, because there are alot of different techniques all rolled into one sculpt.

      Full Shots, alot of blending went into this little fellow.

      Close ups, there are small hits of red interference through the pinkest part of each feather. Also shows close ups of my wet brush blending. I don’t use an airbrush so it takes FOREVER =P LOL!

              YAY! You are back to painting as well!
              Is there more in the near future?
              This guy is really nice. You captured the parakeet perfectly!

                  Wooohooo! Look at my Brett! You have outdone yourself, drag0n: -) He is truly outstanding! You did a wonderful, wonderful job! The beauty he had IRL, but you gave him the grace he should have had….I just don’t have the words, ya know? I sound like a dork! 🙄 😆 I love him!

                  The story of Brett….

                  Due to poor breeding, Brett was brain damaged. He mostly sat on the floor of the cage or on a low perch and looked upward. He kept his head at an odd angle. When he flew, he wobbled and turned, just like Woodstock from the Snoopy cartoon. He was a sweet and gentle bird. He only lived about 6 months, but he was special to me. I have two other Bourkes now – Pogo and Marilyn. You have to hear them sing – their voices are gentle and musical: -)

                  This was Brett…not a great picture, but…

                    Lamortefille–I’m so sorry you only had Brett such a short time. Such a pretty boy.

                    Dragon–Beautiful work.

                            I’m trying when I can to get back into painting. I just ordered a slew of lavender eyed PYOs for me to play with. Now it’s just finding the time =)

                            That’s a really pretty griffin. You captured the colors beautifully. I’m glad to see you painting again.
