Bella the Galah - Original Painting

What makes this original painting the perfect artwork for your home?

When I created this original painting, “Bella the Galah,” I wanted to invite the gentle spirit of Australia’s wild into your home. Bella’s soft pink and grey feathers offer a soothing calm, while her lively presence brings a spark to any room. More than art, she’s an invitation to connect, each glance a reminder of nature’s quiet joy.

Whether resting in a cosy corner or brightening your living space, this painting becomes a heart-warming focal point, sparking admiration and conversation with everyone who visits.

What is the story / thought behind this original painting?

Bella was born from my love of the Galah, that cheerful burst of pink and grey we so often spot under wide Australian skies. I chose to paint her gentle gaze and soft feathers to capture her quiet grace, hoping to awaken fond memories of your own encounters with these birds. The nature-inspired background is a nod to our vast outdoors, inviting you to pause and feel both nostalgia and connection, echoes of youth and the simple wonder of sharing space with something so beautifully wild.

What materials and techniques were used to create this original painting?

This original painting was created using professional-grade oil paints on fine linen, chosen for their rich colour and long-lasting quality. I use traditional layering and glazing techniques to build depth, texture, and fine detail, bringing the birds to life with realism and feeling.

Can I see how this original painting would look in my
home before I decide?

Yes, absolutely. If you send me a photo of your wall and let me know which original painting you're considering, I’ll create a visual mock-up to help you see how it could look on your wall. It's a simple way to feel more confident before making your decision.
