Priscilla – Original Oil Painting by Cassie Holmes

A vibrant Swift Parrot artwork, celebrating colour, texture, and one of Australia’s rarest birds.

Priscilla is a portrait of the beautiful Swift Parrot, a critically endangered Australian bird that breeds in Tasmania and migrates to the mainland in winter. With her bright, joyful plumage set against a soft peach background, Priscilla radiates energy, life, and charm.

Painted as part of a pair, this artwork reflects my love of giving each bird a friend. Thick, textured oil paint and palette knife strokes bring her feathers to life and add movement to the background, making Priscilla feel full of character and presence.
