Olive backed Sunbird pattern to brighten up the day.
Have a beautiful week xoxo 💙💛💙💛
Today’s sketch of the day in my moleskine art journal is of a common bird in Penang and around Malaysia which is the House crow. Crows are really intelligent birds, resourceful and they have a good memory but they attack the other birds and can be real pests.
When my brother and I were young, he threw a rock at a crow but it wasn’t killed so it went to tell all its friends about us. For about a week, everytime we left our house, a few of them would swoop down from the trees to attack us. It was traumatising. Think the birds from Alfred Hitchcock!

I’m not the only artist in the family. My mum painted too. Here is one of her bird paintings. She loved nature, her garden and the birds in them.
This is a fairly large painting. Acrylic on canvas. There are quite a few more. I will post them up slowly 🙂
Thank you very much to you my friends who have supported me during this time of loss and grieving for my mum. I have had really bad days and good ones. It has been a rollercoaster of emotions for me. I’m not great at sharing my feelings but I am trying to. It has been 4 months now and it gets better because I know her memory lives on xx
StewART the seagull has been relocated from his home. These are the perils of living in the city. As a tenant, you can be kicked out anytime and replaced. Luckily stewART is a tough and resourceful Bird. He has found a new home and has taken his dreams with him…
I miss my sketch of the day so I have decided to carry on, but not everyday ;p
I love by the coast and there is a mangrove starting to build up outside the house due to land reclamation. The wildlife ecosystem has changed over the years. I have noticed birds I have never seen before starting to hang around the garden area and in the muddy waters outside.
I have officially become a birder. Happy weekend all xx
