This painting is based on our lovely but naughty king parrots. We were sitting on the veranda watching the pretty birds as they bit the heads off our dahlia flowers and trampled them into the ground! They looked at us with their cute little naughty faces as if to say “aren’t I pretty, what are you going to do about the mess I have made?” I’m going to take photos… that’s what! They could have at least waited until the flowers were finished before deadheading them…
