Faith – Original Oil Painting by Cassie Holmes

A vibrant Gouldian Finch painting, full of colour, texture, and cherished memories.

Faith celebrates the beauty and diversity of one of Australia’s most striking birds, the Gouldian Finch. Painted with thick oils and palette knives, this piece brings the bird’s colourful plumage to life with rich textures and a soft, inviting background. Every feather carries depth and dimension, making the finch appear full of character and charm.

This piece also carries personal meaning for me. My dad used to breed finches when I was a child, and our backyard aviary was alive with their vibrant colours and cheerful presence. Painting these birds feels like a tribute to those memories, a celebration of nature’s beauty woven with family history.

Designed as a companion to Francis, Faith captures not just the elegance of the Gouldian Finch but also the companionship these birds are known for. Together or alone, it makes a joyful addition to any collection.
