A Lorikeet


This started as an upside down sketch and then I couldn't resist adding some colour. It was fun to do because the bird reminds me of a pet lorikeet we had a few years ago called Matisse. He was a fabulous bird, full of character, but unfortunately he became aggressive towards the children. Luckily we were able to find him a new, loving home and he now has loads of freedom - he flies free throughout the day and returns home to his cage each evening to sleep.
