Farah step 4 and.............the winner is...........

For the number 5 I painted a blue sky with 5 Pacific Parrolets.
And this little one exist in real!
It is Melanie's Ollie!

I met this little bird on Melissa's blog
You can meet him and Melissa's Gilbert here.
Ever since Melissa showed him I was fascinated by his colors and knew I had to paint him in a mandala one day.
So that's how he flew in Farah's mandala.

Enjoy Ollie and his cousin Gilbert in these posts

  2. Oh my gosh.... this is great! Thank you, thank you.
    This post is so cute. I love the object of your inspiration. What a beautiful bird. There are so many beautiful birds in the world. This one looks so delicate swathed in these colors. Like a rainbow on wings.

  5. Woo-Hoo! Congratulations to Lisa! I am sure every time she looks at this joy-filled Mandala, she will smile and think of you, of Felix (kein mehr *Wonderkind*....vielleicht ein *Wunderjungling*?)...he is so handsome. (Don't tell him I said that!)

    Ollie IS a living *Rainbow*....I've never seen a *Parrolet* before! Going to check out Melissa's Blog now!

    Congratulations dear Lisa!! And....both Farah and Melissa will adore this beautiful Mandala!

    Love,
