Sula nebouxii ORDER: SULIFORMES FAMILY: SULIDAE

Painted just for the Steemit platform. I picked the Blue Footed Booby because I saw a lot of human naked boobies floating around Steemit before the mute button was installed. I find the birds prettier and more interesting then naked bodies doing varies absurd sexual poses. The Booby's dance to bond with their life mate, which is beautiful and funny at the same time. You know the reason why the Booby has blue feet? The brighter the blue the healthier the bird, this makes picking a mate easier. If you watch the Booby mating dance you will see the birds picking their webbed feet high off the ground, showing them off.

I grew up drawing animals, especially horses, which was natural. My Mom owned a Morgan horse ranch on the West side of Mt Hood, we had a 40 acres of pasture nestled in the foothills of the Cascade range in the state of Oregon. I spent most of my childhood caring for my siblings, farm animals, hiking, foraging, fishing, hunting, swimming the cold clear streams in the deep wilderness of the Northwest Cascades.

Last year I was going to do a series of birds and immediately forgot about it. Blame it on Pokemon and my Granddaughter. My forgetfulness has nothing to do with my old age!

I should work on at least one animal painting a month and I am writing this on my todo list so I won't forget.
