Flight of the Galah (A2 original bird painting on paper)

Flight of the Galah by Leni Kae - In this original painting, the Galah symbolises embracing spontaneity and flying towards change with open arms (or in this case, wings!). It is a reminder to follow your heart, and trust your intuition as you fly towards change as a new journey unfolds before you.

Watercolour, Acrylic Paint on A2 sized 300gsm paper. Requires framing. Frame pictured for example purposes only.

This painting is from the series titled "Animal Spirit", incorporating a fluid style to represent a selection of animals. It asks viewers to look beyond the image animal portrayed; it asks them to feel its spirit through the movement captured by the fluidity of paint and linework.
