This small artwork is painted on a wooden board and doesn’t require framing.
As it’s a panel wood there is no string at the back but it’s easy to hang.
Edges birch plywood .
The bird depicted is a black Cockatoo , one of my favourite Australian species.
It is painted with acrylic and finished with a protective varnish.
The background features metal leaf, which creates beautiful reflections under different lighting.
Depending on the angle, you can see shades of gold, blue, copper, and rust.
I’ve worked extensively with this technique, following a precise gilding protocol.
Each painting is provided with a certificate of authenticity and wrapped securely with bubbles layers and thick cardboards.
