A watercolor painting I did for me sister and her husband for Christmas, of their two rescued lovebirds who are now both deceased.... Berkley (right) was killed by a defective bird toy many years ago, but Bebop (left) lived to be a pretty old bird, fighting chronic illness resulting from hundreds of generations of captive inbreeding her whole life. My sister and her husband cared very deeply for their little cheep-cheeps, and I wanted to give them something to remember them by.

I did cause my entire family to cry when my sister opened this though, which I felt somewhat bad for. When she thanked me, I said, "You're welcome.... I'm sorry." XD We all giggled and wiped our tears away. Rest in Peace babies, you were so very loved.

Watercolor and acrylic ink on watercolor paper.
