The inspiration for this painting was my little sister. She was over here for my wedding and loved all the colourful wildlife and landscapes. She has recently moved into her first house with her partner back on the Isle of Wight. So I decided I would do her a painting as a housewarming present. It would remind her of all the amazing colours and beautiful things she had seen while she was in Australia.
