New painting - Smokey the Cockatiel

I recently painted a small illustration for an upcoming Bureau f Drawers Valentine's Day art show at the Cafe Racer on February 12th. The theme is "Like/Like" so I chose a pet from when I was a child that was given to me for my 5th birthday, a cockatiel I named Smokey. I adored that bird! I miss him and here he is depicted in bird paradise:
