This stunning contemporary acrylic painting captures the essence of one of Australia’s most iconic birds – the sulphur-crested cockatoo. Expertly rendered on stretched canvas, this piece captures the cockatoo’s lively personality and striking plumage. The bird's soft whites and bright yellows are beautifully contrasted with blue and deep magenta shadows against a pink background, chosen for its fresh, modern appeal and harmonious complementary tones. This painting not only celebrates the unique beauty of one of Australia’s iconic birds but also adds a bold pop of colour to any room, making it a perfect statement piece for bird lovers, wildlife enthusiasts, or anyone seeking to infuse their home with energy and life.
ARTIST STATEMENT
Living by Berowra Valley National Park, I see these cockatoos daily on my morning walks and often from my studio window. Their raucous calls seem to proclaim, ‘Here I am’ and their cheeky personalities seem larger than life. I have chosen to paint a coloured background to capture the vitality of these energetic parrots.
