There are a lot of artists on the bird forums I visit and last summer I commissioned one of them, Frank van Boxtel, to do paintings of Stewie and Mika. I picked a couple of photos that I liked, including the one that I used to create the banner on top of this site, and sent them to him to paint.
Below are images of the finished work (although these thumbnails don’t really do the real-life work justice).
The paintings are acrylic on canvas, 12″x 12″. My favorite parts are the life in the eyes.
Here’s a bit more detail of Mika’s portrait:
You can see more of Frank’s work on his website. Be sure to check out his other parrot paintings.
Beautiful artwork!!!

Very nice. Actually I think I know him, not personally but I have spoke with him before. I’m going to check out his site now.
WOW, they are both wonderful!
