Jesus bird & chick - acrylic painting

Another painting - this one going to auction this week with many others of mine on Graysonline. Alas I have run out of storage space and have too many artworks so must "clear the deck" as the saying goes.  Jesus birds are so named because their specialised feet which allow them to spread their weight and walk on lilypads in Kakadu waters, (Northern Territory of Australia.) They appear to be walking on water.  We managed to get quite close to them on our trip - so unique.
