Gilly – Original Oil Painting by Cassie Holmes

A striking Gang-gang Cockatoo painting, celebrating colour, texture, and Aussie wildlife.

Gilly is part of my Feathery February collection, inspired by the top 10 Australian birds of 2023. The Gang-gang Cockatoo came in at number three, a small cockatoo with charming wispy feathers, and in the males, a vibrant scarlet crest that makes them truly unforgettable.

Painted in oils with palette knives, Gilly features thick texture and expressive strokes, with a pale yellow background that highlights the bird’s scarlet details. Compact and versatile, this piece is perfect for displaying freestanding on a shelf or hanging proudly on a wall, especially alongside its partner Gus.
