Description
When I started this painting, I wasn’t sure how it would end up! I began with the frangipani blooms, but they looked lonely. Then, the idea to add a male cockatiel watching peacefully from behind the blooms occurred to me. I aimed to capture the tranquillity of a moment in nature and an unusual pause for this much-loved, charismatic, and vocal bird.
Cockatiels are small, colourful birds that are native to Australia. They are incredibly popular pets due to their friendly nature and attractive appearance. These birds are known for their cheerful disposition and unique vocalizations with males of the species being more vocal than their female counterparts and even learning to sing or talk. I wanted to encapsulate the charm, beauty and vibrancy of the cockatiel in my painting, whilst creating a serene scene where the cockatiel and the frangipani flowers coexist in peaceful harmony.
Hidden within the golden embrace of the frangipani, the cockatiel watches with serene curiosity. Bathed in sunlight, each petal forms a radiant frame around its delicate figure.
The tranquility depicted in the painting serves as a gentle reminder of the serene moments that nature offers us. It invites viewers to pause and appreciate the beauty and harmony found in the natural world, where every creature and element coexists in peaceful unity. This artwork is not just a visual delight but also an ode to the quiet, contemplative moments that enrich our lives.
