Hyacinth Macaw Abstract

Buy A Print

Here is one of 2 recent parrot digital paintings I made in the vector graphics program called Inkscape. I'm trying for a more abstract look in my newer animal art. I find that the most difficult part in creating art in color is choosing the right color combinations, for this composition I was aiming for colors that blend with the blue of the Hyacinth macaw to give the painting a unified look. Using black for the tree branch and background contributes to a contemporary look and makes the colors pop out.

I hope you enjoy this Hyacinth Macaw digital painting as much as I've enjoyed making it, and I would be thrilled if you would like to purchase a print. It is available at Pictorem on a variety print surfaces ranging from rolled prints and stretched canvas to metal and acrylic. And every print has FREE shipping in Canada and the US.

Coonhound Vector Art

When I was thinking about making a new vector illustration of a dog, a Coonhound is what came to my mind and this is the result. Coonhounds were developed in America during colonial times, they were used for hunting raccoons and other animals found in North America, hence the name "coonhound". Coonhounds are friendly and require a lot of exercise to keep them happy. 

 

 There are six types of coonhounds, the black and tan, which I suppose is what I drew (I'm not that familiar with the breed, black and tan markings is just what came to my mind when I thought "coonhound"), there's also the Redbone coonhound, the English coonhound, Bluetick coonhound, Tree Walker coonhound and Plott coonhound. Each type except for the Plott coonhound decended from the Foxhound.
