Has anyone seen the art of Edward Lear? His illustrations of South American and Australian parrots are beautiful!

Oh I know!
I'm an artist myself so I came across these images on google not so long ago, very talented, birds are not easy to draw!

I agree, especially outlining every signal feather and getting the shape right. I saw these paintings once at a fair they were 75$ each. It was cheap

Those are lovely! I'd love to have a couple prints.

The website I put down has full sized prints for download. We're going to staples to have some printed out on photo paper!
