Cockatoos in abstract

Acrylic painting , Original Artwork of “ Cockatoos in abstract “by Moira Briel

These cockatoos in abstract was painted with a acrylic pallet on a stretched canvas 50.50cm x 50.50cm with a depth of 1.50cm on a acrylic canvas and a protective coat of (gloss) varnish has been applied to seal the acrylic paints and ensure the work stays looking its best for a life time

These three white Cockatoos pop against the colourful background of trees done in bold colours of browns ,reds , oranges and greens . The branches of the trees looking for the light with their striped patterns and the trees splashed with lashings of different coloured stripes and circles forming patterns , creating colour and vibrancy to the whole composition . The green and yellow leaves are hi lighted with dots and circles and intertwine in the foreground with the occasional blue dotted leaf to be seen. Gum nuts appearing in the front of a typical forest where birds are found to be and the occasional odd leaves falling below from the trees to the ground . All so pleasing to the eye

I am an Australian based wildlife artist with 30 years of experience.

I was born in Zimbabwe and started my art career by studying under professional artists such as wildlife artist Francis Stoki in Zimbabwe and Donald Waters in Queensland Australia . I worked for a taxidermy in Zimbabwe for two years painting wildlife on a large scale for export overseas. One of my paintings sold to the governor of Beirut and the other to the vice president of Zimbabwe at the time.

I left Zimbabwe 17 years ago and now reside in Perth Western Australia. After retiring I finally have the opportunity to paint full time in my studio , something I always wanted to do.

I enjoy painting wildlife the most coming from Africa I find nothing better then capturing the beauty of wild animals in their natural habitat. I paint in acrylics mostly but have done charcoal drawings and soft pastel drawing as well and a bit of water colour and graphic pencils. I have worked in oils before but find acrylics dry a lot faster. I paint realism mostly but of late have switched to a bit of abstract painting which is fun bringing out the stories it tells. I have also done underwater scenes where I can follow the swirls and patterns of the water creating movement and patterns which are pleasing to the eye. I paint flowers, animals, underwater scenes, abstract,realism, still life, marine life, beach life, sea scapes and birds just to name a few , so keep an eye open for something different as i intend to give you just that
