Meet “Nelly,” a striking portrayal of a female Red -tailed Black Cockatoo, captured in a moment of grace and poise. Her sideways glance and regal plumage harmoniously blend with the lush surroundings, showcasing her natural beauty.
Upon closer inspection, you’ll discover delicate love hearts adorning her feathers, reflecting her charming demeanour. This piece not only highlights the elegance of this endangered species but also serves as a reminder of the love and care we can extend to wildlife.
“Nelly” was honoured as one of the top 10 finalists in the 2017 Clifton Art Prize, selected from 89 entries across Western Australia, and also earned recognition in the 2017 Midwest Art Prize in Geraldton.
This captivating piece is a wonderful addition to any space, inviting admiration and conversation.
Many thanks to Keith Lightbody for graciously providing the reference photo as inspiration for this oil painting.
