Artist's notes:

african gray parrot thumb The African Gray Parrot was completed on 2/21/2009. There's a pet store near my house that I frequent that has one of these handsome birds in it. I'd wanted to draw one for some time. It was a fairly difficult bird to draw, but it was also very fun. The feathers were very challenging, especially where they change in tone from dark to light.
