I painted this oil many years ago in memory of my beloved pet bird, Petie. He was the sweetest little parakeet, and had a vocabulary of over 400 words and phrases. He would say things like, "I'm Petie Holland, just call me Pete!" "I'm a bird... I can fly... let me out!" And he would proceed to try and open the door of his cage with his beak.
When He was about four years old he contracted a bird disease over a weekend and died quite suddenly in my hands before I could get him to a vet. I mourned Petie for many months because he was so human-like in his joyfulness and such good company to be around. I loved him dearly!♥

My goal was to empower these children through their creativity, and in turn...

I also had a parakeet named Petie. Problem being only one sex can imitate human speech and we had the wrong sex. LOL This piece of fine artwork has earned the honor of being chosen to show off to other artists and prospective buyers here in the Wisconsin Flowers and Scenery group. It is an honor to share this piece of well composed and beautiful art on our Featured section of our homepage. Thanks much for sharing! Liked and Faved Randy B.
