I love the fact that these birds are so unassuming at first glance, with their brown plumage hiding in the shadows etc. and then BOOM! that incredible mating display and the 'stand up comedy' routine; completely unexpected and brilliant.

Lately I have been re visiting some of my earlier works on paper as inspiration for new works on canvas. This beautiful lyrebird was a personal favourite of mine from last year. I have painted this one on a long skinny landscape orientation canvas with tricky spaces in mind. I was looking for a painting for the feature wall behind my bed recently and noticed that there wasn't much available in these sorts of dimensions, so I thought i'd create one.

The earth colour palette of cognac, blue greys and deep greens is sublime and would make a lovely statement piece in your Australian home. Framed in a beautiful raw oak box frame.
