The painting was done by my Blue Fronted Amazon, Pepper. I did a wash for the sky and green grass and the rest was done by Pepper and me. Several methods were used as well as several brush sizes. Sometimes he walked over the painting and would apply the brush where I showed him. I had him roll the brush to achieve some of the flowers. Sometimes he would hold the brush and I would bring the paper to the brush. I wanted him to do both trees the same but he had different ideas. I wanted it to be dabbed to make it look like a fir tree but he wanted to stroke back and forth. You can see our disagreement in the second tree with the trunk. Although it was fun when we first started, tension began to build as the painting progressed. I was so afraid he would ruin it. Finally Pepper had enough, broke his paint brush and walked away. After much bribing I was able to coax him into finishing it. I doubt I will ever do this again and I think Pepper feels the same. |
