St. Lucian amazon parrot in flight above the town of Soufriere in high mountain rainforest. This painting was commissioned by St. Lucia Distillery Ltd for the design of a bottle sleeve for their Chairman's Reserve Rum. A percentage of every bottle will go towards protecting the St. Lucia parrot.
Daniel is the originator of the shimmering light water technique, creating delicate hues of color and light by painting the wet-on-wet method in which liquid paints are delicately applied using small Sumi bamboo sheep hair brushes. The silk is positioned flat while suspended in a stretcher so that the wet colors can bleed freely on the fabric. The finished piece is water-resistant and lightfast, ready for framing behind glass.
