Buzzle
An 8x10 masonite panel painted with acrylic for a friend of Cyrakhis. Buzzle is a Pineapple Green-Cheeked Conure, and a total sweetheart.
I completely fell in love with acrylic painting again after I found a way to retard the drying process, and was able to blend colors much more easily. I had purchased a Sta-Wet palette that will store acrylics wet in a lidded container, and lengthens the drying time even while the lid is removed. Freaking adore it, and I highly recommend it to acrylic painters!
I am REALLY happy with this painting, and I really surprised myself with how well it turned out. Flat brushes are really awesome for painting feathers, I've found! Also, I have to openly admit that I was thinking of
nambroth's acrylic works while doing this, so if there are glaring similarities (like that artsy circle), that is why. I would love to work with acrylics more, so if people were wanting a colored traditional piece, this is one way to go!
Time: 9 hours
Media: Acrylic paint on 8x10 inch masonite panel

I didn't know myself, but I believe it's the 'Pineapple' in the breed name that specifies the lighter coloration - the pale pink bill also seems to be a trademark of this color variant. I'm not totally surprised to see color variants in parrots, especially if they're being bred for them. It's just like ball pythons and corn snakes with their crazy-ass color variety now! ^^
Thank you for commenting - this has been great to discuss! : D

I can understand how tough it must be to be reminded of the loss of such a sweet little bird. I really really am happy that you find the image pleasant, if sobering, and I wish that it might remind of you happier times. I really have to thank Cyr for commissioning this as well! I wouldn't have passed it up for anything. <3 You have my kindest condolences and regards!
