Pair of Lorikeets

In the summer I visited Longleat Safari Park and had an absolutely brilliant time – I cannot recommend it highly enough.  One of my many highlights was feeding the rainbow lorikeets nectar pots.  We walked into the enclosure, pots in hand and were swept away with delight when the beautiful lorikeets chose to fly onto our hands and drink up the nectar.  They are stunning and also very sociable with mesmerising and quirky antics.  There were several pairs that looked so cute, nuzzling and preening each other, that I felt compelled to capture them.  Inspired by their rainbow colours and the liquid nectar I have created a collection of lorikeets on a dribble.

This original acrylic on board painting measures 28cm by 35.5cm and purchase includes free shipping.  If you would like it framed please contact me to arrange at an extra fee.

p.s. did you see the other lovely lorikeets? – they work so well as all three together and you can even change them around so they can talk to each other!
