The harshest of all judges during swooping season and the reason plastic ice cream containers become a part of the spring fashion collection. If they take a disliking to you or your mode of transport watch out! Usually quite calm and collected the rest of the year. Magpie Mug Shot Watercolour on handmade 100% cotton […]

Kookaburra Mug Shot 2015
The bane of the late riser and stealer of lunches. There was a particularly crafty one based in the Domain opposite the Art Gallery of New South Wales who could steal a sandwich right out of your hand as you brought it up to your mouth to take a bite. Kookaburra Mug Shot Watercolour on […]
Hanging Round 2015
Our little double-barred finches are one a the few birds who stay for autumn and winter, when all the other birds seem to vanish to warmer climes. It means that we have a lovely extended family of beeping birds with oodles of personality to paint. Hanging Round Watercolour on handmade 100% cotton paper Image size […]
Corella Mug Shot 2015

Galah Mug Shot 2015
Part two of the ‘Crest mug shot’ series, and my personal favourite bird trying to look as tough as possible… which is tricky when you are a pretty pale shade of pink! Galah Mug Shot Watercolour on cotton paper Image size 13.3 cm x 18.3 cm SOLD through Michael Reid Murrurundi
Cockatoo Mug Shot 2015
This is one of a series of bird mug shots. The first three included a corella, a galah and this feisty cockatoo all with their crests raised. This is the final in the three, as he (of course) has the most impressive crest of them all. Hence the title of this painting “Now this is […]
Magpie Thief 2015
We have a family of magpies who come regularly to steal cat crunchies. They have developed quite a cat crunchie addiction. So brazen are they that they are completely unafraid of us, even the cat… I think she took one look at that powerful strong beak and decided a few crunchies weren’t worth fighting for… […]
Pacific Black Duck 2015
On a recent holiday to the tropics, we became quite good friends with this little fellow. He would waddle into our luxury holiday house as if he owned it, quacking all the while, even going so far as to have a swim in the water feature. He became known as Duckie… and we knew exactly […]
Brush Turkey 2015
With a face only a mother could love and manners to match, the Australia brush turkey is the scourge of manicured gardens everywhere… unless you like huge piles of mulch in the middle of your lawn… These structures they build in which to lay their eggs, and they are perfect incubators, keeping the eggs at […]
What a Pair of Galahs! 2015
What is there to say about galahs… they really are entertaining to watch and to paint. We have a pair who visit us daily, sleeping in one of our trees at night. Just gorgeous. And crazy. And noisy. Definitely one of my favourite birds. This crazy pair are available as a greeting card through my […]
Magpie Serenade 2015
We have a constant pair of Magpies who share our property with us. They have such wonderful personalities, I can watch their antics all day. Every morning and evening they serenade us with their beautiful melodious call. They have such beautiful voices, I could listen to them all day. Magpie Serenade Watercolour on handmade 100% […]

Another of our magpie friends, strutting around his domain. Magpie Strut Watercolour on handmade 100% cotton paper Image size 21 cm x 29.5 cm Framed 32.2 cm x 42.2 cm SOLD
