On my walks as a child, I tended to see a lot of different animals, in the forests and lakes around my home. But, the kingfisher was more elusive & often harder to spot because of its size. I was lucky enough to capture some photos, & I have used these as my inspiration for this artwork. "Chirika" means bird, hence the reason for choosing this name. I like to name all of my animals, as this brings them to life, for me. I also paint their eyes first, as they are the mirror to the soul. Airbrushing with ink, allows me to showcase his beautiful feathers and adds a realism to this painting. I'm hoping buyers will see him as a gorgeous bird, showcasing the best of Australia and it's natives.
