Rainbow Lorikeet Sunshine Spirit (Original Australian Bird Art on Canvas)

A colourful and modern original painting of a Rainbow Lorikeet, by Sydney bird artist Leni Kae from her series titled “Animal Spirit”.

“I’ve often imagined, that embedded within the light of our spirit, are all the colours of the rainbow. A rainbow lorikeet entered my life and influenced this beautiful piece. This native Australian bird is full of playfulness, energy and joy, and this is most certainly reflected in the glorious colours of its feathers. I couldn’t resist painting it with drips of colourful paint - like it is flying and splashing in the energy of joy itself. Painted here with outstretched wings, it symbolises embracing a spirit of heartfelt optimism, joy, adventure, exploration. “ - Leni Kae

Painted with acrylic on canvas. Requires framing.
