Artwork Description

Acrylic on canvas, stretched and ready to hang.

Signed on the front.

I started painting Willy Wagtails after being commissioned by a person who saw one of my paintings of blue wrens in an art gallery and asked if I would create a similar painting with Willy Wagtails in it. The subject had a special meaning for her. After losing a loved one these two birds started appearing in her window and she felt this was her partner saying he was still with her. I've since discovered that Willy Wagtails hold this special meaning for many people, and the same meaning also has significance in Aboriginal culture and legend.

Two children and their dog visiting the duck pond and watching the ducks. The painting is in black and white and features three birds, two ducks swimming on the pond and a third taking off to fly away.

A beautiful majestic bird native to Australia, this cassowary is brightly coloured on a black background. It has piercing eyes that follow you around the room. The main colours are the primary colours of blue, red and yellow.

This painting uses primary colours to create a surreal atmosphere typical of Dali paintings. It introduces some of his sculptures and paintings in the form of a bent clock, an elephant on elongated legs and a butterfly, all typical of the objects to be found in Dali's own artworks. His portrait captures his crazy stare typically seen in photographs of the artist himself.
