Description This is an Ara Macao, the national bird of my country, Honduras. It's a beautiful tropical bird from the family of the parrots, and, when I was a younger child, they were quite common on the virgin forests of Honduras. However, with the reduction of their habitat, the Guacamayo, or papagallo, or simply the lora has become a rare finding.

This is a painting done with lots of love toward animals, considering that the only specimens I get to see of them are held captive as pets. This is so cruel, I wish I could free them all...But I know they would have no chances of surviving on the wild. Besides, If I freed them, they would only get caught again and sold at even high prices.

Please, help these creatures! Don't buy exotic animals!

This picture is made with oil over canvas. The first real painting I ever sold. HNL/Lps.800.00, which would mean
42.3392 US dollars. Nice.

era para una subasta de caridad, el 10 por ciento de las ganancias fueron donadas. Asi que este es el precio mas alto que pudo conseguir. Jajaja, aunque yo tenia pensado en venderla a mucho mas!

It looks at least ten times better on canvas, too bad this is the only photograph I took of it before I sold it. The person who bought it from me said that the frame in which she put it was more expensive than the painting itself. Well, it IS a beautiful frame...I will tell her to send me a picture of it already framed
