Layered oil painting featuring a Long Billed Corella and some Native Cadaga plucked from a local street tree. At the moment there are flocks of Corellas flying around my neighbourhood. They arrive at the end of each summer each year, and make a ton of noise and mischief, raiding the Greek neighbour's olive tree and swinging upside down in gangs along the electricity lines. I love them and the crazy energy they bring with them.

My process begins with rough plant sketches recorded outdoors which are used back in the studio and become more abstracted over time. These paintings sit somewhere in-between representation and abstraction. I never really know where the work is going to end up. Sometimes I arrive there quite quickly, other times a painting may take many weeks and incarnations to reveal itself.
Framed in a beautiful Raw Australian Oak box frame. Ready to hang and enjoy!
