Turquoise Parrot

"Turquoise Parrot",  $50 on Etsy

This painting is all about turquoise. A turquoise parrot (Neophema pulchella) perches amid an ornate pattern in various shades of turquoise and green. The chemical formula for turquoise, the semi-precious stone, floats directly on top of the bird. The bird's scientific name is in small print in the upper left of the image. The painting is meant to be a visual synthesis of information related to the word "turquoise".
