Billy – Original Oil Painting by Cassie Holmes

A joyful Willie Wagtail painting that captures the charm of one of Australia’s most beloved birds.

Meet Billy, the cheeky Willie Wagtail! Found across mainland Australia, these delightful little birds are known for their constant tail-wagging dance and lively personalities. With their deep purple-black feathers set against a soft yellow background, Billy celebrates their playful charm in rich, textured oils.

This piece holds a special place in my heart. When my boys were in primary school, I would invent silly characters to make them laugh on the drive home, one of them obsessed over Willie Wagtails and would talk about them non-stop, especially if we spotted one. That playful memory makes this artwork feel like pure joy to me, and I hope it brings a smile to your home too.
