Cockatiels has been painted with a pink background- my favourite colour as a young child because the one thing that kept our whole family going after our first immigration was this little bird that my Dad gave us. He immigrated on our shoulders through the Rhodesian border- we declared one bird and one dog at the time, our prize belongings. My Dad who was a gentle caring person who loved animals said at the time he lost everything he had worked so hard for "no matter what happens you'll always have the love of birds" and this is true still today. Thus a pet Cockatiel is the greatest gift I have received in starting again and later pet cockatoos led me to Australia to start again too. This is a example of a picture that has a lot of history and hope and stories behind it- I remember convoys and craziness and a bundle of feathers. My hope is that this artwork inspires future generations of survivors too for when the world is crazy- nature has a way of balancing and helping people move forward.
