Larrikin Lorikeets

I love lorikeets because of their vibrant colours and fun attitude. My neighbourhood is full of these birds, but I had additional inspiration from photographer, David Simon, who allowed me to use one of his beautiful reference photos. The painting uses both traditional watercolours and watercolour inks. The A4 size allows for economical framing in a ready made frame and mount.
