Artwork Description

My pastel painting portrays three instants of a female Yellow-bellied/olive-backed sunbird as she waterslides down the pleated leaf of a Cape York Lily. She obviously enjoys the refreshment and twitters gleefully to her mate who keeps watch nearby. You too can share the delight and watch her bathe in the gentle rain from a garden sprinkler.

Artist Bio

Ashley Holmes presents new watercolour paintings and other works from a back catalogue that reflect his affinity with the luxuriant tropical environment he cherishes. These are selected especially for Bluethumb.
Ashley has worked across a diverse range of visual art forms including photomedia—especially composites, including architectural-scale works for public spaces. His practice includes time-based projection, sculptural installation, interactive and internet art.
Increasingly these days, Ashley is attracted back to the perceptual immediacy and tactility of drawing and painting. He considers himself a neo-romanticist and an optimist and this shows in his choice of subject matter and creative expression. He participates in exhibitions and events that promote environmental awareness.

Commissions

Ashley's studio is in Slade Point, North Queensland
