Lophura






Lophura is a genus of pheasant that includes some of the most striking bird species in the world and it is not only due to their fantastic colors but also by their extravagant feathers, watles, crests and amazing courtship behavior. The two species portrayed hear are the rare
Lophura bulweri and Lophura ignita. This watercolors were painted some years ago when I was working with animals in captivity in a project of environmental enrichment for birds housed in zoos and aviaries. I hade the oportunity of watching the only male of Bulwer´s pheasant that is held in captivity in Europe. Both watercolors were sold and are now hanging in the walls of private collections in The Netherlands.

Juan, I am stunned by your art. It is the first time I visited your blog and just surprised by your other side. I see some fine art here. I spend some time tomorrow to browse through your blog entries and see your production.
