This is the actual shape of the canvas This is where the entire shape of the canvas itself becomes an integral part of the overall theme. The canvas is tapered to give the illusion that the top of the canvas is leaning back and the bottom is protruding forward towards the viewer. / The blue represents both the waves of the ocean and the point where the horizon line of the ocean and sky meet. / The seagull itself is reduced down to its barest essential shape and color. With one wing up and one wing down representing the seagull’s constant wing movement as it seems to hover above the seascape.

In this painting I have endeavored to reduce the landscape down to its absolute minimum, focusing purely on the line of salt-bush on the horizon, with one solitary bird hovering in the air, to give the impression of the raw empty heat of a mid day summer where nothing stirs until l the cool of the evening. . .

The magnificent male Indian Blue Peacock has a long train of beautiful feathers, with eye spots, brown, yellow and green with black center, brilliant blue feathers on the body, green iridescent plumage and beautiful yellows, and grey feet. The male (peacock) Indian Peafowl has beautiful iridescent blue-green or green coloured plumage. The so-called “tail” of the peacock, also termed the “train”, is not the tail quill feathers but highly elongated upper tail coverts. The train feathers have a series of eyes that are best seen when the tail is fanned.

Good Morning Maui from the slopes of Haleakala at 8000 feet Maui Hawai’i Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009 / My images do not belong to the public domain. Reproduction is strictly prohibited. All rights reserved A Chukar gazes over the island in the early morning light as the sun rises over the western slopes of Haleakala, Maui, Hawai’i. Elevation at this point is approximately 8000 feet above sea level. “The Chukar, Alectoris chukar is a Eurasian upland gamebird in the pheasant family Phasianidae of the order Galliformes, gallinaceous birds. Other common names of this bird include ‘Chukker’ (sometimes misspelled as ‘Chuker’), ‘Chukar Partridge’, ‘Red-legged Partridge’, ‘Rock Partridge’, ‘Indian Hill Partridge’, ‘Chukka’, ‘Chukkar’, ‘Chukor’, ‘Chukore’, ‘Chikone’, ‘Kabk’, ‘Kau-Kau’, and ‘Keklik’. This partridge has its native range in Asia from Pakistan, India and Afghanistan in the east to southeastern Europe in the west, and is closely related and similar to its western equivalent, the Red-legged Partridge, Alectoris rufa. It has been introduced widely, and became established in the United States, Canada, New Zealand and Hawai’i. In Great Britain, hybrids between this species and the also introduced Red-legged Partridge are common. The Chukar is a resident breeder in dry, open, and often hilly country. It nests in a scantily lined ground scrape laying 8 to 20 eggs. Chukars will take a wide variety of seeds and some insects as food; however, Drooping Brome (Cheatgrass) is this species’ strong food preference. When in captivity, they will lay 1 egg per day throughout the breeding season if the eggs are collected daily. The Chukar is a rotund 32-35 cm long bird, with a light brown back, grey breast, and buff belly. The face is white with a black gorget. It has rufous-streaked flanks and red legs. When disturbed, it prefers to run rather than fly, but if necessary it flies a short distance on rounded wings. It is very similar to Rock Partridge, Alectoris graeca, but is browner on the back and has a yellowish tinge to the foreneck. The sharply defined gorget distinguishes this species from Red-legged Partridge. The song is a noisy chuck-chuck-chukar-chukar. The Chukar is the National bird of Pakistan and the name is derived from Chakhoor in Urdu. In Indian mythology, the bird is said to be in love with the moon and to look at it constantly.” Informationa Source: BirdLife International Pihanakalani: Gathering place of high supernatural beings ~ a place where heaven meets the earth ~ Haleakala is a shield volcano. “Built up from the ocean floor by countless eruptions, it was once a mountain that rose several thousand feet higher than today at 10,023 feet. ~ “Haleakala National Park is an area of astounding diversity and beauty, covering over 30,000 acres of wilderness. It preserves the distinctive volcanic landscape of the summit area and protects the pristine Kipahulu Valley. Haleakala is home to many of the world’s 13 ecosystems including: alpine cinder desert, subalpine shrubland and grassland, montage bogs, dryland forest, high elevation cloudforest, low elevation rainforest and coastal. This special place resonates with magnetic energy and stories of ancient and modern Hawaiian culture and protects the bond between the land and its people. The Haleakala National Park also cares for endangered species, some of which exist nowhere else. Isolated in the mid Pacific, the Hawaiian Islands are the most remote major island group on earth. They were formed as the Pacific Plate moved across a volcanic ‘hot spot’ within the earth’s mantle. Lying 2,400 miles (3862km) from the nearest continent, they have never had connection to any other land mass. Natural crossings across this great expanse of ocean by animals and plants were extremely rare and very surprising occasions. After such accidental arrivals, and isolated from mainland populations, these pioneer organisms took strange courses of evolution and allowed a unique biota to develop. But utterly unaccustomed to mainland competition, the remote native island ecosystems are defenseless against mainland alien species and have been decimated by new grazers, predators and diseases. Haleakala National Park, and its East Maui Watershed Partner neighbors, still harbor an astonishing relic of these native island ecosystems. The major effort of Haleakala’s resource stewardship is to preserve intact this superb example of the Hawaiian Islands’ native ecosystems.” Information Source: Hawai’i National Park Service Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi / ISO 100

This beautiful Macaw may be seen at the lovely Tropical Gardens of Maui ~ near Wahinepe’e and Keopuka Ridge in Puohokamoa Valley / Maui Hawai’i Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009 / All Rights Reserved Featured Art Inspired Art 05 June 2009 / Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi “Macaws are large colourful New World parrots, classified into six of the many Psittacidae genera: Ara, Anodorhynchus, Cyanopsitta, Propyrrhura, Orthopsittaca, and Diopsittaca. They are the largest birds in the parrot family in length and wingspan, though the flightless Kakapo is heavier. Parrots are zygodactyl, like woodpeckers, having 4 toes on each foot – two front and two back. Their native habitats are the forests, especially rain forests, of Mexico and Central and South America. They are called Guacamayos in Spanish and Araras in Portuguese. The majority of macaws are now endangered in the wild. Five species are already extinct, and Spix’s Macaw is now considered to be extinct in the wild. The Glaucous Macaw is also probably extinct, with only two reliable records of sightings in the 20th century. The greatest problems threatening the macaw population are the rapid rate of deforestation and the illegal trapping of birds for the bird trade. Macaws have been said to live for up to 100 years; however, an average of 50 years is probably more accurate. The larger macaws may live up to 65 years. Macaws are ready to breed when they are about 7 or 8 years old. The decision to have a Macaw as a pet should be seen as a life-long commitment, as it will likely be a companion for life and many even outlive its human keeper. They are monogamous and mate for life. In captivity unmated Macaws will bond primarily with one person – their keeper. Pet Macaws thrive on frequent interaction, handling and love just as humans do. Lack of this can lead to their mental and physical suffering. Other sub-bondings also take place and most Macaws that are subjected to non-aggressive behavior will trust most humans and can be handled even by strangers if someone familiar is also alongside. Without proper adult supervision, Macaws are unsuitable as pets for children. All species of Macaws have very powerful, large beaks and are capable of causing considerable harm to both children and adults. They are delicate creatures and require respectful and loving husbandry from handlers.” Information Source avianweb.com macaws info
