This richly layered work features a jubilant cluster of parrots—an enduring Slonem motif—rendered with expressive brushwork and a Fauvist palette. The dynamic composition, with its rhythmic repetition and saturated color, captures the artist’s unique blend of abstraction and naturalism. Created during a pivotal period in the early ’90s, this piece carries the energy and exuberance of Slonem’s larger oil-on-linen works, yet in a more intimate and collectible format.

“Birds are part of my vocabulary. I live with them, I breathe with them, and I paint them.” – Hunt Slonem

Watercolors of this scale and vintage are increasingly rare, and in today’s curious market, they represent a compelling value compared to his six-figure canvases. Comparable works have been exhibited at the Ogden Museum, the New Orleans Museum of Art, and dozens of U.S. embassies globally—testament to their lasting cultural and aesthetic appeal.
