As a child I clearly remember visiting one of my favourite places - the Adelaide Zoo. And whilst it was so fascinating to see all the animals and particularly any new-comers, I was always mesmerized by the beautiful, long-legged, pink feathered flamingos (although Greater was more white).
I had an inner sad feeling for them however that they walked around or stood still on their dry, dirt compound - I often imagined them being in their own North American paradise, under the sun, toes in the water, scooping for small fish and crustaceans. This would be their heaven, their paradise. Eventually, they made it, and whilst many of us miss seeing them, we believe they would be enjoying their 'paradise' up there.
In memory of our last surviving Chilean flamingos; Greater (died in 2014) and Chile (died in 2018)
This beautiful piece has been created from my own healing journey, tapping into my subconscious and expressing inner energies. Mediums: acrylics with medium and high flow, using a combination of applications and techniques - brushes, fingers, water - spray, watercolour techniques and canvas rotation/movement.  In the finishing layers, I have used aerosol, solidified paint stick with a varnish top coat to protect the work. All in harmony, created with heart and soul and a deep passion for my work. 
87cm x 62cm - wired ready to hang. It comes with a certificate of authenticity.
