Cheeky – Original Oil Painting by Cassie Holmes

A textured black cockatoo painting, full of character and Aussie charm.

Cheeky is inspired by the Carnaby’s Black Cockatoo, a striking and distinctive species found in Western Australia. Known for their unique bird call and bold presence, these cockatoos are truly unforgettable, even if, like me, you’ve only admired them in photos.

Painted in oils with rich palette knife textures, this piece brings the bird’s fluffy plumage to life. Every stroke adds depth and dimension, from the cockatoo’s bold form to the subtly textured background. I painted this cockatoo as part of a pair, because I love the sense of companionship it brings.
