Daddy's Photograph of the Iora Bird

By Reuel Dylan Tan, Extraordinary People Limited

This is not just a painting of an Iora bird, it is “Daddy’s Photograph of the Iora Bird,” as lovingly described by Reuel. Within its gentle strokes lives the spirit of a father’s quiet birdwatching moments, seen through the eyes of a son who paints. It is a tender fusion of two passions — one behind the lens, the other behind the brush — bound by love and shared wonder. In capturing this little bird, Reuel captures something greater, a tribute to kinship, memory, and the quiet ways we carry those we cherish into the work we do.
