Artwork Description

Gouache on paper

Signed on the front.

I grew up picking fruit from the trees in our back yard! Through this painting I can share those childhood memories with others who have had similar experiences. There were always plenty of hungry birds eager to share the fruits of our labour!
There is quite a lot going on in this work, it would make a feature and brighten up any space, it would also become quite the talking point at social gatherings!
After completing the inital drawing I used watercolour paint for the background and then completed the birds, apples and foreground using gouache. It is painted on 600gsm H/P watercolour paper.

A pair of rainbow lorikeets feature in this design piece as they nestle into the apple blossom branches laden with pink flowers. Their green body feathers blend with the grren leaves on the branches, and their dark royal blue head feathers blend in with the dark blue background. Their red beaks stand out from the flowers with their redish coloured stamens.A Blue wren and his "Jenny" wren feature in this colourful, blue and white tones painting.  The blue wren and his jenny are in the foreground, standing in amongst the white daisies with yellow centres.
There are daisies fading into the background and a pale green weeping cherry tree is just to the left of the painting.A Rainbow Lorikeet has landed in an apple tree and has struck the jackpot! The tree is laden with fruit just ripe and ready for harvest. Sharing similar colours to the green leaves and red and green apples this happy bird blends in so well as he settles himself in amongst the leaves and apples. There is part of an old gray and brown wooden fence visible in the foreground so immediately it becomes evident that the bird is in someone's backyard! If it weren't for his striking bright blue head you might not even notice him hiding in the tree.A fallen pine tree provides the backdrop for this detailed artwork, featuring a roaming Echidna searching for his lunch of ants, amongst a carpet of branches, leaves and grasses. The picture is highly detailed in black and white. The Echidna is in the very forefront of the picture as he clambers across the ground in his search. There are hanging branches and pine needles still clinging to the branches.
