Parrot by Adam Wheal

Ah = excellently done, congratulations. My aunt and uncle had an aquarium near the sea-front at Weston Super Mare, and camped outside was a green (not red) macaw; a great character. When schoolboys teased him, he would bide his time and then take a savage nip from whichever part of their anatomy they'd left in reach. People didn't complain in those days - 40 odd years ago: these days, you'd be landed with a law-suit, even if it wasn't your fault.... You've caught the knowing expression that these birds have very well.

I have not noticed your work lately Adam, but like this parrot, great detail. Glad to see you are still trying lots of different subjects. I like the Apes eyes in your latest.
