Cockatoos in flight

As I drove in to my driveway the other day, I saw all these Cockatoos busy gardening in our front garden.

I wanted to capture their flight on camera, so I got out of the car very quietly, well as quietly as I could, got my camera (aka my phone) ready and started walking towards them. As soon as I was too close for comfort, all of them took off.

I love the way the picture turned out. Different stages of flight for all of them.

Oil Paintings: The Beginning

I finally got down to do some oil painting recently, which was after a gap of nearly 10 years.

I am enjoying myself immensely. Time seems to slow down, actually, it comes to a standstill,when I pick up the paint brush.

I hope to have a few paintings ready for an exhibition soon.

Some of my recent work is on display here. I am keeping my fingers crossed.
