No today - I had to focus on painting parrots the last couple of days. Here's some cockatiels instead. It's the stretch goal sticker for my playing cards!

The copy of Edward Lear’s “Parrots” (1832) is now looking especially spruce, with a brand new box and binding (replacing an unlovely buckram binding from the early 60s). The new marbled papers are particularly nice. Thank you for making it possible.

Despite hearing the song dozens of times I never thought to check out Lear’s “visages and forms of parrots and cockatoos”.

Between the ages of 18-20 he drew 42 parrots, including some Australian cockatoos. Published 1832.

Tricolour-crested (now Major Mitchell’s) cockatoo.
