This Collection has evolved from observations of birdlife. My use of "birdlife" is inclusive of ducks, pheasants, guinea fowl and geese. I enjoy a daily walk and use this to reflect on the natural world in my local area. I get so much pleasure and inspiration from what I see which is an absolute blessing.

This collection is inspired by my observations of pheasants ducks, pigeons, crows, swans, ducks nodding, which if reciprocated in a synchronized fashion was followed by mating. This led to me reflect on mirroring in our gaze and its purpose in romantic love and familial love and bonding.

The work in this collection inspires happy feelings and a very relatable theme and I had lots of fun with romantic floral paint-play in each painting's background. It is okay "to get pretty" in paintings and for them still to be serious, this is very much about what my art approach is about and I think this approach gives my work feeling. Playfully painting floral backgrounds in this series painting inspired me to paint without metallic ink which is evident in future paintings.

The Lovebirds Series comprises of 14 paintings including Monsoon Lovebirds which was the Originator of the Series “We Are all Connected”. Other paintings in this Series are Sunset Quartet; Jubilee Lovebirds; When Geese Fly By Squawking; Glastonbury Lovebirds; Just Resting; Two Green Birds and Two Red Birds. Watch this space on my lovely new website for the images of each painting in this romantic Series. All are now unavailable!
