A dynamic cockatoo painting, full of texture, energy, and Aussie charm.
Cockatoo Landing captures the glorious moment a cockatoo comes in to land, wings spread wide in all their splendour. Inspired by a beautiful reference photo from Janis Churchward, this piece was one I simply had to paint. Cockatoos are endlessly entertaining with their wiggly dances and cheeky antics, and here their majestic side is on full display.
Painted in oils with both brush and palette knife, the textures bring the feathers and movement to life, making the bird feel as though it’s about to flutter right into your space.
