Lorikeets

These amazing birds, that look like big parakeets, live in Australia.  When I visited there in 2000, we were fascinated at how they would fly into this same area and light on these same poles at 4:00 every afternoon . . . hundreds of them.  I took many photos and decided to paint them in this long, panoramic format, which brings back happy memories of many, many railings, full of them.
