The Red Crown - Original Painting

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

When I created "Red Crown," my hope was to bring the vibrant energy and beauty of nature into your home. Every brushstroke is a celebration of the stunning Gang-Gang Cockatoo, with its lively reds and textured feathers meant to catch the light and your eye.

I imagine this painting brightening a quiet corner or becoming the heart of a room, its boldness sparking conversation and a sense of connection to the wild every time you see it.

What is the story / thought behind this original painting?

"Red Crown" shares the spirit of the Gang-Gang Cockatoo, its crimson crest bright against the tall forests of New South Wales and Victoria. As these rare birds become harder to find, the painting serves as a gentle reminder of what we risk losing in nature.

This original painting captures both the delicate magic and quiet strength of this species, inviting you to pause and feel a deeper bond with the 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.
