🎨💕 A moment from this past Saturday that I can't believe I didn't share immediately! The talented AJRcreations (www.ajrcreations.com/) came by to deliver the commissioned portrait of Misha, and a bonus painting of Boo he’d made last summer.
The additional portrait of Boo, with its darker background, was his first draft that he created this time last year when Boo was battling a serious lung infection. I was also dealing with my own emotional struggles. It's interesting how the darker artwork resonated with my mood and Boo's issues at the time, even though I wasn't posting much.
But, our artist friend decided the dark canvas wasn't the best representation of Boo and recreated the painting on a light retro blue background, which is what he gave us first and that Chris and I fell in love with. We were not expecting both versions, and I'm grateful for this extra piece!
Fast forward to recently, and the same gifted artist has brought Misha's spirit to life in this striking new canvas. His bold, joyful bold "pinup style" art truly captures the playful and silly essence of both cockatoos.
I value supporting local artists, and I'm sure we'll commission Sara's portrait after she settles in a bit more. 💙🖌️🐦
