Grandma’s Cocky
Grandmas Cocky is one of my most personal paintings to date. He was the same age as me and had passed away not long after my grandmother had passed. Those 2 were a firm anchor in my happy childhood.
When I got news of his passing I was pretty sad, considering they can live up to around 70 years old. But I thought it was fitting to honour his memory with the gift of a colourful life he gave me. He was such a funny and intelligent bird and was always up for a chat. Makes me smile just thinking about it.
