Lawrence the Lorikeet

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.   SOme were super friendly and took turns to jump onto our hands.  One lorikeet watched on from a branch (perhaps he had already had his fill) and seemed to be watching over us all, making sure every bird had a turn – and here he is in print!  I have called him Lawrence and he is very wise and very fair I think.  Inspired by their rainbow colours and the liquid nectar I have created a collection of three lorikeets on a dribble paintings.

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!
