Mixed Media on paper
Signed on the front.
I have a cockatoo obsession- I just love them! I have cockatoo bags, dresses, jewellery- everything. So naturally, I find myself painting them frequently.
This is a portrait of a little fella that captivated the attention of my dog Bodhi and I during one of our walks along the Elwood canal. They are such playful intelligent creatures.
This painting, like a lot of my work was spontaneous, there was no direction what so ever, I let the mediums take control and direct the work. It is a mix media piece using ink, acrylic, ball point pens, the mediums applied by hand, spatula’s, brushes, sticks, even a spade! It was a passionate and energetic affair painting it.
