Hi Janet
I work at The Correspondence School and am Team Leader for the Tui Team. I really love the illustration of your Tui and wondered whether I would be allowed to use it at the school?

Can you please let me know?

Many thanks
Annette

This is absolutely beautiful art, so familiar and lovely to see the Tui and the Pohutukawa in bloom.

If only they could hear the wonderful songs of these truly beautiful birds – I do – and they bring me such peace….Lynley from New Zealand!

These works are truly one of a kind. What I’m referring to is how touches of darker hues in some of the paintings and lighter misty-like noise give the paintings depth and make them amazingly lifelike. They make one want to get out and enjoy the marvels of nature.

A man who is in deep pressures and tensions can see these paintings for some relaxation.Some of the paintings are looking as if they are real pictures.Really it is great work.

I am amazed by the amount of detail that these paintings of birds exhibit! The birds really look as if they have individual feathers, just like in real life. I also like the variety of birds that appear in the paintings and how they are so perfectly presented in their natural environments. The variety of angles are nice too and capture the birds both in flight and at rest. Just looking at these beautiful birds provides me with a sense of peace.

Janet,

I love your paintings! Your birds fondly remind me of my grandmother’s home as a child, which was full of bird activity in the courtyard. Although they are not the same birds, it still gives me a warm feeling.
