Here's a close up of one of our 17' high giraffes.

---

A Tricolor Macaw

---

And a Blue Macaw coming in for a landing.

---

The whole room was painted, right up and over the ceiling.

---

Here's a close-up of an African Lorakeet

---

The other giraffe. They are a pair mated for life.

---

Altogether there were six lifesize flamingos.

---

And a partridge in a pear tree.

---

Spots and more spots, and the world's rarest butterfly. I learned that when I did my research for the Peter Pan stamps I painted. You can see them here.

---

He's waiting for the right moment to grab one of those giraffes.

---

The pink orchid

---

Orange orchid detail.

---

Snowy a dual portrait of my buddy and friend.

Snowy sat on my shoulder while I did the finishing touches on his portraits. Actually right here he is pulling off my glasses. He was fascinated by them. At first I was scared of that big beak, but later learned he was as gentle with it, and his tongue as you could possibly imagine.

---

Snowy became such a good friend while I painted here, that the home owner offered him to us. I would have taken him in a nano second if we had had the room and not already had two cats.
