Yellow Tailed Black Cockatoo, is a striking mixed-media piece that captures the beauty and character of this iconic Australian bird. The subject is a Yellow Tailed Black cockatoo, its intricate feather patterns highlighted with bold strokes of white and gold, add depth and texture. A vivid yellow patch on its cheek contrasts boldly against the dark plumage, drawing attention to its intelligent, watchful eye.
Painted on recycled baltic pine floorboards, the natural grain and knots of the timber enhance the organic feel of the piece, complementing the bird’s wild essence. The layering of stencil and expressive brushwork gives Black Cockatoo a dynamic, almost tactile quality, making it a compelling tribute to one of Australia’s most beloved native species.
