Some time ago Louise Truslow contacted me asking where she could go to see birds in large flocks. I suggested wetlands around Petchaburi as a great place to look. The reason she wanted to know was to get some ideas for a series of oil paintings of birds.

It seems that she found what she was looking for as now she has an exhibition of her bird art at the Neilson Hays library in Suriwong Road, Bangkok; she has very kindly invited me to the opening of the exhibition this evening.

The exhibition will run through October and the paintings will be auctioned to raise funds for the care of HIV orphans.

Here is an example of her artwork.

More information on the exhibition can be found on Lousie’s own website: Louise Truslow; When Kingfishers catch Fire.
