"Golden hour - Adelaide Rosella" Ed. 3 of 100

Large Limited Edition of 100 Signed Giclee Print from my original painting "Golden hour - Adelaide Rosella", which was a finalist of The Holmes Art Prize for Realistic Australian Bird Art 2021 - Caloundra, QLD.
Australia is the land of parrots with over 50 species with a huge range of sizes and colourations. Adelaide Rosella is one of the stunningly coloured birds that is endemic to South Australia. This was thought to be a separate species but is presently believed to have originated through interbreeding of the Crimson and Yellow Rosellas. My painting is inspired by an amazing shot by photographer Stuart Blackwell of Adelaide Rosella bathing and drinking one afternoon in Tanunda, South Australia. The galaxy of colours doubled in the water reflections in an almost abstract pattern with a touch of gold leaf. I have chosen a larger scale for this painting to bring this stunning bird closer to the viewer with its fabulous colours and details.
