Purple Honeycreepers

Purple Honeycreepers by Liana Harris, Oil, 8 x 8

The purple honeycreeper is native to northern South America, mostly in the Amazon Basin.  I love their bright yellow feet in contrast with their ultramarine violet feathers.  I did not, however, use ultramarine violet paint for the birds; it was a mix of ultramarine, diox purple, ivory black, and a trace of alizarin crimson.
