Polly’s Perch

An abandoned Spanish-style home, still whispering its stories

Perched delicately on a weathered branch, this white umbrella parrot radiates quiet elegance against the deep greens of the forest. Its soft, feathery layers and thoughtful pose make it a captivating subject, full of personality and charm.

The Story Behind the Canvas

This particular parrot lives at our Brevard Zoo, a place I visit as often as I can for inspiration. Watching these beautiful birds up close, seeing the texture of their feathers and the intelligence in their eyes, is always a joy — and this painting is my way of sharing that experience.

Polly’s Perch is a gentle glimpse into the quiet beauty of one of nature’s most charming creatures, captured in a moment of stillness.
