Bird Portraits

Birds are a favourite subject of Michaels, especially doing them as portraits. "My bird portraits are not scientifically acurate as I am more interested in capturing the character and personality of the subject".

A more contemporary fun portrait of this comical fowl. R1 200.00 Acrylic on canvas 610 x 460mm	The very distinctive head of the Guinea fowl and one of my favourite characters. R2 500.00 Acrylic on canvas 610 x 460mm	The very elegant SA National bird sun light on an otherwise overcast Cape day. R6000.00 Oil on canvas
Busy little bird often seen along rivers and wetland areas. A very unusual but interesting head to paint. In this painting I have made her very important and businesslike. R2200 Acrylic on canvas 800 x 600mm	The quick and dead. A flash of brilliance is the kingfisher. (SOLD)	A loose brushstroked 'impressionist' painting of this distinctive and colourful bird contrasting against dense African bushveld. The intensity and focus of the painting is around the eye. (SOLD)
One of Southern Africa's most endangered birds. A huge bird mostly seen walking. I've tried to capture the arrogance of this male. (SOLD)	The surrounding neighbourhoods of Cape Town are alive with flocks of these colourful and noisy characters. This one stops momentarily. (SOLD)	A ghostly figure moving before the approaching storm. One of my more detailed paintings. (SOLD)
The very distinctive head of the Guineafowl and one of my favourite characters. (SOLD)	One of Southern Africa's most endangered birds. This male walks with one eye on the viewer while an African storm builds on the horizon. (SOLD)	In this painting the medieval helmet is combined with the determined look. (SOLD)
A native to central Africa this portrait has a very judgemental look to it. (SOLD)	His piercing eye and dagger beak, cocked ready to strike. (SOLD)	Commission for Omega Parque Jardim Zoologico in Portugal. (SOLD)
Portrait of one of the most beautiful of the ibis birds. (SOLD)
