Cockatoo Spirit In the Clouds

Cockatoo Spirit In the Clouds - A new surrealist ‘skyscape’ design by Sydney artist Leni Kae, extending from her series “Animal Spirit” from her spiritual art collection. This artwork features teal and lemon-yellow hued abstract clouds dripping into the night sky, and sulphur-crested cockatoo with outstretched wings flying beneath them. An Australian native bird, the cockatoo has a fun nature and is very vocal bird! This painting hence symbolises vocalising ones truth, a readiness to wash away the old and experience new emotion, while flying towards what brings you inner joy.

Mixed media artwork on 300gsm A2 paper. Watercolour, acrylic, ink, pencil.
Requires framing. Please enquire if you would like to receive this artwork frame.
