This captivating original painting by documented Florida artist Gilda Lelia Lozito depicts a vibrant blue-and-gold macaw perched on a tree branch, its wings dramatically extended above two young parrots nestled inside a hollow tree.

The composition beautifully captures a moment of protection and maternal instinct in the natural world.

Rich cobalt blues, golden yellows, emerald greens, and warm earthy tones bring the tropical birds to life, while the softly painted branches and foliage create a wonderful sense of depth.

The painting is signed by the artist in the lower-right corner and retains an original label on the reverse identifying:

Gilda Lelia Lozito
Artist — Original Paintings
307 Cordova Road
West Palm Beach, Florida

An established Florida artist, Lozito exhibited extensively throughout her career, including participation in juried exhibitions and a solo exhibition at the Norton Museum of Art.

The artwork is presented in an extraordinary vintage carved wood frame featuring deeply textured botanical detailing, a softly distressed gray-beige finish, and an elegant ivory inner molding.

Its substantial proportions and beautifully aged patina create a striking contrast with the colorful tropical composition.

A wonderful collector's piece celebrating Florida's artistic heritage, tropical wildlife, and the enduring beauty of traditional painting.

Perfect for a sophisticated Palm Beach interior, a collected gallery wall, or a living room filled with natural materials and vintage treasures.

A beautiful piece of Florida art history, ready for its next chapter.

DĒSSO NOTE

Some pieces are beautiful. Others come with a story that makes them even more special.

We fell for the extraordinary colors of this tropical macaw, the tenderness of the two little birds nestled inside the tree, and, of course, that fabulous vintage carved frame.

But discovering the artist's original West Palm Beach label made this piece even more meaningful.

Gilda Lozito was part of Florida's artistic history, and we love the idea of preserving a little piece of that heritage.

And the frame? That beautifully weathered wood, those intricate carvings, the soft neutral patina... absolutely everything.

A true Palm Beach treasure. See less
