UNKNOWN JAMAICAN PARROT, after the only known description - a watercolor by Geo. Edwards dated July, 1764.

This beautiful parrot escaped the attention of early ornithologists and therefore has no name. It is known solely from the rendering created by celebrated 18th century naturalist, painter, and book producer George Edwards. In his own words, an inscription on the painting reads;
"This bird was lent to me by Dr. Alexander Russel and is preserved in his collection. It was shot in Jamaica and brought Dryed to England."

Like many birds of islands in the Far East and West Indies, it probably met its demise at the introduction of ship rats from European sailing vessels, having never seen such a voracious for and destroyer of eggs. But we shall never know.

The artist has depicted the regal looking Polly as an inspiration to Calico Jack's bird in Stevenson's TREASURE ISLAND, a book seen under the claw. The globe shows the world as the 17th century may have known.

Framed in a vintage Doric frame, rounded nicely and finished in a rose gold which compliments the feathers well.

I paint in oils, have since I was twelve, nearly fifty years ago. My output has ebbed and flowed over the decades, as have my interests changed to and from landscapes and abstractions, portraiture and flowers. Animals have grabbed my attention since the beginning of the pandemic, birds in particular, because their beauty in both color and shape exist in innocence; they know not how lovely they are.

Douglas Black (1961 – ), painter, born in Glasgow, this artist spent most of his early life in Detroit where his formal education was in architecture. He studied watercolor rendering technique under acclaimed artist Roy Strickfaden, and oils and gauche under the modernist Harold Linton. 

Currently living in Chicago, Douglas has a neo-classical style of oil on canvas, as well as pen and ink illustrations for historical fiction author Duke Pierce Reade. 

His signature is simply Douglas along with the hyphenated two digit year of production. Douglas’s paintings are valued in the hundreds to low-thousands and are held in several private collections.

Shows have included community art fairs, gallery inclusions, and special events hosted in mansions and medieval styled halls.
