Birds of a feather

Hahn's Macaws. I just *had* to draw those.
Acrylic ink, gesso, gold emboss patina

Size 23.4'' x 15''

I have recently displayed this painting in an exhibition and noticed that quite a few people thought the border was a mount, which I had painted over. It is, in fact, all painted on one sheet of paper.

I uploaded a close up of the border here: fav.me/d6kw72w
