Watercolour on paper

Signed on the front.

I'm amazed at how the birds find food at just the right time of harvest. These apples grow in my son's garden and just before harvest the rainbow Lorikeets converge on the tree and have a "feeding frenzy"!
It's as if they have been scouting around and checking to see which trees with which fruit will be ready soon! At least when they're in the tree it makes snapping pictures of them so much easier as they are pre-occupied with their meal and not frightened by our presence in the garden. Painted in watercolour on cresent watercolour board, this picture captures the moment ripe fruit and eager birds converge. The Lorikeets blend into the apple tree so well as they share similar colours. Once framed and hanging on the wall this painting would be like looking through a window out into the garden, watching nature at its best!
