The wonderful French speaking artist Benedicte Delachanal from Montreal in Canada has painted a copy of my photo of the Rainbow Lorikeet!
Just one of the reasons I love the blogosphere 🙂
Here is the original photo.
Thank you very much Benedicte and gros bisous – it is splendiferous 🙂

I can hear him cheep cheep just by looking at the photo! (I always think they sound like baby puppies, but up in the tree.)

Thanks d 🙂 – next time I see them I will listen for the sound of baby puppies!
Just beautiful. I really like how you did the feather detail & your colour choices.
It is beautiful – thanks Jane 🙂
Just gorgeous
Thanks Helen 🙂
So beautiful. I too love how the blogoshere shares and interprets beauty.
Yes, there is a lot of synergy in the blogosphere tricia 🙂
Of course what I don’t like is when I misspell a word and then have to look at my error writ large. Here’s the missing p
haha – I didn’t even notice, but thankyou tricia 🙂
Fantastic! 😀
Agreed bluebee 🙂
C’est magnifique! What an artist. She really is so talented. Your photo is FAB too!!
Thanks Selma 🙂
thank you very much to all these lovely comments, but I must say that drawing and painting on a tablet is so easy and fun, anyone can do it!
Thank you very much Gabrielle for the photo and for such a warm place in your blog.
You’re welcome Benedicte (but I have tried painting on a tablet and the result was horrific – haha – so we don’t believe you 😉 )
I wish I could show you how, IT IS easy and fun.
Very impresive indeed.
Do those pictures come cheep? 🙂
hahaha – you can’t help yourself can you colonialist 😉
Such remarks are definitely for the birds!
Love to see more collaborations like this! Just brilliant!!!
Thanks Graham – I love it!
Yay! The rainbow lorikeet is my all time favourite bird. I’d never even heard of them until I arrived at Lake Maraboon in Queensland about this time 3 years ago and they were everywhere – nuzzling up to each other and playing next to the tap. Thanks for stirring up those memories! 😎
Thanks Clare – they are very cute when they nuzzle up to each other in such an affectionate manner – glad you got to visit Queensland 🙂
Fabulous bird, fabulous drawing!
Thanks Aletha 🙂
