Artwork Description

'It’s a uniquely Australian sound, the screech of the black cockatoo. They’ve been calling out from the towering gums behind the creek, near my house, heralding rain, and hopefully there’s more on the way.'

'Black Cockatoos Homeward Bound' is inspired by the afterglow on the inlet not far from Naomi's home and studio on the Far Sth Coast of NSW. The abstract white flannel flowers are quite textured, and contract against ochre coloured Australian gum trees. Three yellow tailed black cockatoos swoop down low on their way home to roost in the hollows of spotted gums. This bold and intrinsically Australian painting is a one-off fine art abstract, and blends Naomi's bushland and botanicals series.

- Full signature on front lower left
- Artwork title, date and full signature on the back
