ABOUT THIS ORIGINAL SULPHUR CRESTED COCKATOO PAINTING

There's something magical about those early morning visits from our feathered friends, isn't there? This piece captures one of those perfect garden moments when two cheeky sulphur crested cockatoos decided to drop by to investigate the bird seed tray.
One bold bird has made itself completely at home on the arm of a young woman with gloriously wild, curly hair. These early risers have personalities as vibrant as their crests, and I wanted to capture that playful energy through a blend of semi-realism and abstract elements.
The palette draws from those dreamy morning light moments – warm ochres, soft beiges, mineral blues that remind you of a clear sky, fresh garden greens, and the romantic rose reds and pinks of the frangipani blooms. I've woven in abstract patterns throughout the leaves, across the figure, and even dancing across the birds themselves, because nature isn't just beautiful – it's rhythmic, it's patterned, it's delightfully unexpected.
This painting is a love letter to those stolen moments in the garden, where the boundary between the wild and the domestic blurs, and a cockatoo might just decide you're the best perch around.
