Color PaletteThose familiar with Morley's Superrealist canvases of travel postcards from the late 1960s, were totally surprised by his venture into lush, painterly landscapes in the 1970s and 1980s.
Parrots is reflective of one of Morley's myriad tropical watercolor trips and Tyler Graphics Ltd. had the expertise to replicate the vividness and translucency of his watercolor washes.
