A Tiny Home - Rufous Fantail, Australian bird on nest - FRAMED artwork by Nadya Neklioudova

< Back to Search

In this watercolour, the Rufous Fantail bird is in the middle of the artwork, sitting on her cup-shaped nest woven out of fine grasses and spiderwebs. You can see the top half of the bird with her reddish-brown and black head, white under the chin, and speckled white and black breast. Her folded wings are grey, rump is reddish brown and resting tail is grey with white tips. The nest is on a thin Macadamia tree branch crossing the painting diagonally, and forking into smaller branchlets as it goes. Sage-green and light green leaves seem to wrap protectively around the nesting bird, with one leaf brown. The background is a light green wash with blue-greens, suggesting dappled light in a rainforest.

I saw this beautiful little Rufous Fantail mum in Lamington National Park - I quickly took a reference photo and moved on so as not to disturb her. I really liked the play of light and shadow through the Macadamia tree her nest was in, and the leaves curling around her little home, shielding her from predators' eyes above. My child thought her nest looked like a little teacup.

The Rufous Fantail is a small, active Australian bird that has a distinctive reddish-brown rump and a continuously fanned tail. The dainty Rufous Fantail is usually seen flitting about below the canopy of moist eucalypt forests and rainforests, where they usually inhabit the dense, shady undergrowth.

This painting was recently exhibited at the QLD Wildlife Artists Society 40th Anniversary exhibition in Mount Coot-tha Botanic Gardens, Brisbane.
