Red Parrot

Heh, well, those of you who know me well know that I love birds as much as horses, perhaps even more. One of my old co-workers once said to me "You want to be a bird, don't you?" I annoyed him with my endless prattle about my budgies. Can't help it Some 20+ years of living with budgies has effected me. Heh, when your budgies think you're a budgie, some other world has definitely been penetrated.

Anyhow, I drew this picture of a red parrot sometime around 1996 or 1997 - I was still working at the library and in my teens. Now and then, I would totally make a fluke picture - something that hinted at my talent in ways I seldom duplicated. Done with Laurentian pencil crayons - the cheap kind on large sized bond paper. The only thing that ruins this picture for me is the cruddy background.
