Friend is family by choice.
Lover is family by choice.
Partner is family by choice.
And you my dear, you are my family by choice.
-We are all different, but we make each other better. -
Black cockatoo stands for the energy of empowerment, happiness and contentment. The power of spirit come into our life, a strengthening of our own spirit and soul.
From where I live in Bayswater, there is a big field of open woodland near my studio.
The grassland is always my favourite playground, especially during the lockdown. I often accompanied by varies local birds such as cockatoos, magpies, rosellas and so on. They make a great company during the lock down for the past few months to me, they are my best friends.
Which also inspired me to paint this small size artwork in a series. Like a year book, featuring all our friends, carrying all kinds of memories.
Each bird has different appearance, different personality, and each one of them might remind you of that specific, special friend of yours.
