I had painted this picture 17 years ago, this was a hugh Flamingo Sanctuary locked in a marshland at the end of the Dubai Creek, these birds formed a hugh carpet covering this marshland, migrated from the cold Siberia. I visited this place last month, plenty of tall skyscarpers and roads curved into this land with only a handful of birds left. Signages and parks were put up for birdwatchers to observe this birds, but I can only imagine!

Wonderful mood and effects. Almost pointalism, but with a more mythstical effect. I love the colour pallette too.Renata Cavanaugh 12 Feb 2006

The treatment of your idea is remarkable. Beautiful composition, the alignment of the birds is a nice touch.Tabitha Borges 02 Feb 2006
So sad that the birds are going away..Just two year ago across from my mother a great oak tree was cut down and homes when up.. it was so sad because it was a place where hundredth of bird stop on their jounrey north and south. The flight pattern was use to stop the building but unfortunely mankind won and not the bird. So this piece is a great statement for wildlife.. Great top piece..Mrs.David Jobes(Dee) Jobes 01 Feb 2006

Hello Francis! How's things? Your beautiful painting only serves to remind us of how the pressure to 'Progress' is removing some of nature's miracles from our very eyes! The sultan of Oman is a strict ecologist but Dubai has it's mind on business and money making. Sad but true!Rhonda Shereck 31 Jan 2006
