The fine Parrot Paintings of World Class Bird Artist
-Exquisite texture and warmth of feather are carefully
portrayed in the watercolor paintings by U.K. wildlife artist Eric Peake.
Studying mostly from private breeding collections, he is able to accumulate the
essential research to ensure the paintings are technically correct. It is from
this close observation he is able to study the behaviour patterns and bonding of
the species he paints. Although an avian artist most of his life, his work is
now dedicated to the parrot species. He considers himself both a devoted
aviculturist as well as conservationist realising preservation especially of the
endangered species relies on both working harmoniously together. Devoted to the
birds he loves, he is an active worldwide fundraiser for conservation and
research often lecturing on his belief. Donations of his original paintings and
limited edition prints have raised over $200,000. U.S. to date with his most
recent original painting, 'Spix's Macaw and Young' selling for $23,500. U.S. at
the III International Loro Parque Parrot Convention, Tenerife, Spain. All
proceeds were donated by the artist to the Loro Parque Foundation for
conservation and research. His work has supported many other organisations such
as R.S.P.B., I.A.S., A.F.A., WWF., S.P.B.E., M.A.R.E., World Parrot Trust, International Societies for
Budgerigars, Lovebirds, Lories and Amazon Parrots, Parrot Society, North of
England Zoological Society, British Bird Council, Scarlet Macaw Project,
Guatemala, Liverpool University and University of Georgia, Avian Research.
-Eric's popularity and reputation as an artist, author and lecturer
reflect his outstanding artistie talent and dedication to the birds he paints
and loves. So much so he was commissioned in 1989 by the North of England
Zoological Society to paint a pair of Princess of Wales parrots for H.R.H.
Princess of Wales, Princess Diana. His work has been further recognised through
special feature exhibitions at the Southeastern Wildlife Exposition. S.C.,
U.S.A. in 1991 and 1995 specialising in his parrot paintings and a 2 year U.K.
Natural History Museum tour on parrots.
-Currently working on a series of monographs of parrots, Eric devotes
much time and attention to studying his subjects. Released in 1994, 'A Monograph
of Macaws and Conures' contained plates from 40 original paintings. He is
presently working on the paintings for the next volume, 'A Monograph of
Amazons'. Collectively the paintings represent some of the finest parrot
paintings ever produced.
-Although his work demands worldwide travel, the majority of his painting
is done in his home country of North Wales. Working predominately in watercolor
he has the rare ability to capture in fine detail the mood and stance of the
living bird. His work hangs in corporatie, publie and private collections
worldwide. Eric continues to lecture and exhibit with the message ever present
that extinction is forever.
