Morning Visitors

6"x8" Oil on gessoboard
$90 +s/h

This pair of Australian Rainbow Lorikeets arrive on my daughter's window ledge almost every morning for a spoonful of honey. Sometimes they get cheeky and even jump right inside!!  Last time I was on holiday there, I managed to get a photo...love their beautiful colors!!

  2. What a great painting Karen!! You've really captured them perfectly - you can feel their personalities. How lucky your daughter has them coming so close.
    We have a lot of these lorikeets in Perth now but they aren't native to Western Australia and they tend to bully out some of the local parrots. They are so pretty though that I have almost forgiven them!
    Beautiful work!
    Happy New Year!!!
