King of the Golf Cart

Chris and I were out bike riding during our Keys trip and found this gorgeous bird. I actually heard him before I saw him on a back road near a restaurant we were planning to eat dinner at that evening. I also found an Osprey with a nest high in a pine tree nearby.
This Blue Macaw was out just sitting on a golf cart munching on fruit it had been given for a snack. He was curious about us and I was certainly willing to photograph him.
Animals are one of my favorite things to paint because of their innocent qualities and ability to be natural while being photographed.
