Fly Like a King
Kristen Willis

Description

King parrots are a cherished part of life here in the bush. It was only a matter of time before they found their way into my artwork. During the warmer months, these vibrant visitors perch on our deck and happily accept almonds from our open hands. Their gentle nature and brilliant colours have made them both treasured neighbours and a constant source of creative inspiration.
