    OUr family while growing up in Nicaragua, had a big bird that looked like that. SHE was gorgous and lived a long long time. HE got stolen, buy he would call us to the table to eat, he would say the names of all my aunts and uncles who lived there as kids. Her name was pastora and i’m feeling ispired to paint something about her. I have a scar to remember her. She got me when I was 4 right on the thumb. She didn’t like kids. My grandma sais that my aunts and uncles would harrass her when they were kids.

  • LjMaxx replied

    Hi Marie… Sorry your bird was stolen. Thats terrible.. I think a paintng of her sounds like a great idea.. Your art is lovely… I felt lucky to have seen the ones I did while on vaca.. Glad you commented.. Please stop by again…T.Y… :)
