In this work, I digitally combined 2 artworks by old masters:
"The River Severn at Shrewsbury, Shropshire" painted in 1770 by English landscape painter Paul Sandby (1731-1809), London & "The Princess of Wales Parakeets Polytelis Alexandrae" an illustration by English artist Elizabeth Gould (1804-1841).
A combination that works out surprisingly well, it is as if the 2 parakeets have perched in a beautiful English landscape.
The image and the soft colours remind me of antique damask wallpaper, of summer and spring, of a stately painting in an old English country house and of botanical prints from long ago.
It makes me happy, I hope you do too!

                                        The stylists at Art Heroes call my art style ‘Art with a Wink’. And I couldn't agree more. Life is serious enough as it is,  don't you think? ;-)
I mainly make surrealist artworks and collages,  because in those artstyles I can so wonderfully unleash my creativity and unbridled..
