Sophie Oil on canvas. Painted with Rowney oils. We found a blackback gull on Uretiti Beach in the far north of New Zealand. She had an injured wing and was unable to fly. We took her to a bird rescue sanctuary where they said that she would never fly again. We brought her home, built a safe enclosure, fed her and gave her a chance to recover and grow stronger. Three weeks later, on a very stormy day she took flight. She came back occasionally to visit to let us know she was okay. We named her Sophie. We never gave up on her.
