Artwork Description

Kookaburra laughs in the shadows,
In the afternoon's gentle glow,
Black and white, such a delight,
Ink hues upon white birds take flight.

A symphony of joy in the stillness,
Echoing through the trees,
Nature's melody, pure and free,
As the kookaburra sings with ease.

In the quiet of the twilight,
The laughter fills the air,
A reminder of the simple pleasures,
That we often forget to share.

So let us pause and listen,
To the kookaburra's song,
And find solace in its laughter,
In a world that can sometimes feel wrong.

I decided to rework and old painting by painting it all white and dry brushing backover it with black to give it a effect.

Painted with a pallette knife on deep edge stretched canvas with matching painted sides, signed and ready to hang.

Artist Bio

I am an artist based in Wollongong, NSW, I grew up here between the mountains and the sea. My passion lies in painting with bright and bold colours, Australian native animals, especially birds make up a lot of my inspiration, though I also like to explore flora and still life subjects. I like to accentuate the hints of colour I see within my subject matter. I love painting with a palette knife and I use mainly acrylic paints on stetched canvas.

I love to add texture to the canvas with deliberate strokes that give the subject matter definition without it always being obvious. I am a full time artist working from my home studio on the South Coast. I find great inspiration from daily beach and bush walks and I can't imagine a life where I was not able to be creative everyday, and I feel truley blessed to be on this journey.
