Artwork Story: I'd say Black Cockatoos would have to be my favourite thing to paint. I love the challenge of painting the light and shadow details of their feathers. The inspiration for this piece came from a family of Red Tails I photographed while on a bird tour around the grounds of Kaarakin Black Cockatoo Rehab Centre. These ones were wild and free but seemed to have made a home amoungst their fellow friends in the rehab centre. The juvinile in the middle was playing around trying to get the parents attention while they were having a rest in the gum trees. 
Original Painting is A3 and was completed in August 2024 with acrylic on paper.
