  • For many days and over many cuppa chais in my garden, I had been observing the subject of my painting: a pair of 'laughing doves'. I saw them create a home for their small family of chicks in a comfortable and safe niche, the shopping basket attached to my cycle! I delighted in seeing them raise their family and watch them grow bigger and stronger till they could fly away. This sweetness of birds inspired me to choose watercolors as a medium that perfectly captures the freshness and spontaneity of nature.
