This painting features a delightful Galah in a delicious pastel Pop-like vignette, inspired by the street art and crazy, wild gardens abundant in my local area of Newtown in Sydney's Inner west. I also purchased some metallic paint last week (copper and silver) and I was very excited about including a bit of metallic in this painting. It's a little difficult to capture the metallics in a correctly lit photograph, so there's a rough close up taken indoors included (the last shot) to give you a better sense of the lustre of the copper and silver paint. The main striped branch where the Galah is perched is copper as is the bottom left hand botanical. The stripes on the other stem in the foreground are silver.
