About the Artwork
“Blue” is a portrait of two Spix macaw birds. Depicted in the movie “Rio”, these birds have only recently begun to make the journey out of near extinction. The first flock to fly freely within its homeland in Brazil was only just released from captivity in early 2022. I was drawn to paint them for this reason and because of the many shades of blue and texture that their feathers offered to me.
