Macaw In Flight Print

In the town where I live, a small rural town in north west England, the fields are filled with sheep, the colours on display are primarily green, brown and grey. Except for the semi-wild macaws that sometimes fly through town in a flash of bright reds and blues, an explosion of colour that lights up the town. They come from a bird refuge that was set up some years ago by a wealthy philanthropist. How could any artist not be inspired by something so vivid, so gloriously incongruous? I wanted the background to show a rainbow of colours, giving it an almost psychedelic look, to try and capture the explosion of colours as one of these parrots fly through town.
