▂▃▅▇█▓▒░۩۞۩ Description of this Artwork  ۩۞۩░▒▓█▇▅▃▂

“A friend is someone who knows all about you and still loves you.” ― Elbert Hubbard

:iconukulelemoon::iconsaysplz: It was a real challenge drawing these two together. I love the wild and off-the-wall colors of macaws but the high saturation makes it hard to tell where one begins and another ends. Then I realized that was perfect for a pair of mated lovers.

The use of bright colors contrasting with the dark shades such as the underside of the bird's chins, combined with the mesmerizing blend of colors in the background leaves a truly haunting and beautiful image giving a sense of something wild offering comfort to someone dear.

This really is a beautiful masterpiece- you've done very well breathing life to these animals depicted in your painting- it is very lovely.

I cannot find anything to really say needs improvement on this, except perhaps using a slightly darker shade of green on the blue bird's forehead if you ever decided to touch this up- as the background nearest it is also green. <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="391" title=":) (Smile)"/>

Overall this is a very fun and lively piece, amazing job. <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="391" title=":) (Smile)"/>
