John James Audubon: Carolina Parrot


John James Audubon is an American Painter and Ornithologist (expert of birds). When studying birds of North America he also made beautiful paintings of them to show others what he had seen. Between 1827 and 1838, he printed 435 life size water colors all from hand carved plates. His paintings would include the natural diet, scenery and group interactions of the birds. I chose this artist because I enjoyed how vivid and detailed his bird feathers looked. Also, I enjoy how he brings out the parrot colors against the plain background.
