I have a great love of Australian birds and enjoy their bold personalities and boisterous squawking.
This portrait of a sulphur crested cockatoo has been painted with a minimalistic colour palette of payne’s gray, white and gold as a contrast to their more colourful character. A major focus of this work was in the fine feather detail. The regal nature of this proud bird is suggested via the metallic gold floral pattern backdrop.
Pale gold metallic on a deep blue background.
