Sacred Kingfisher - Quick Study

Painting No.6 of 7 in this 'Study' series before Christmas.

On the weekend were away with Scouts and we took all the kids to the Sydney Baha'i Temple, in the car park I watched a Sacred Kingfisher for about an hour along the power lines catching bugs. I have never seen one in my local area so I was very pleased to see this one.

Painted on light weight deep edge stretched canvas with white painted sides, the painting comes sealed in a satin finish, signed and ready to hang. It also comes accompanied with a Bluethumb Certificate of Authenticity.

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.
