Jessie's latest portraits...

A few weeks ago my good friend Kathy of tapestry316 sent me a surprise in the mail, an original watercolor painting of my sun conure parrot Jessie James on a 4x6 piece of paper. It was so beautiful I thought of all of the other artworks that have been done of Jessie by others which I love and decided it would be nice to have them all framed together. Well I found a really nice frame and it fits the 4x6 by Kathy in the middle and room for 10 ACEO's around the outside, perfect. The colors in this are not exact as it is a photo of the original.

The frame will fit 10 ACEO's but Jessie had only been portrayed 7 times on ACEO's, and so I decided to ask another good friend of mine, Karen Anne Brady of IrelandBrady if she would be interested in trying her hand at doing a portrait of him. This original illustration is also available in her shop as a fine art print.

I am so happy with all of my Jessie portraits and can't wait to get them all framed together. I will be sure and blog the final piece when all done.

I love the portraits of Jessie. Kathy and Karen depicted very different versions, yet both captured his beauty and essence. I'd love to see all 10.

Framing multiple cards around a central image sounds like a great idea. I can imagine it would make a great piece to hang on your wall. Lovely images.
