Description
This painting saved me. I was involved in a project to reintroduce Rimatara Lorikeets to the Cook Islands, from Rimatara in French Polynesia. On a first research trip to Rimatara, I sketched the lorikeets and did this composition from the sketches, and it became the cover for our application to French Polynesia for the reintroduction. But to our surprise, we were suspected to have illegally captured a lorikeet, an endangered species, to do this drawing and other illustrations. What finally saved us was the fact, that I had drawn the feet wrong! I had drawn three toes in front, as is typical for most birds, instead of two in front and two in the back.
After being embarrassed, and relieved, I fixed those feet.
