This painting depicts a green parrot surrounded by hibiscus flowers against a backdrop of sky and clouds. The parrot is shown perched on a branch, its feathers rendered in shifting shades of green to emphasize depth, light, and movement. The surrounding hibiscus blooms, painted in warm reds and oranges, create a strong contrast with the parrot’s cooler tones and highlight the vibrancy of the natural setting.

The composition explores the balance between stillness and vitality. The parrot, calm yet attentive, conveys presence and awareness, while the flowers suggest growth, energy, and the cycles of nature. The intention of the piece is to capture not only the likeness of the bird and its surroundings but also the harmony and tension found in the natural world.
