Winter Windows

A graceful Superb Lyrebird is depicted perching on a branch between yellow banskias and ferns against a soft landscape.

The landscape is viewed over three Art Nouveau style windows echoing the abstract shapes created throughout the piece giving a sense of stained glass.

Washes of watercolour and intricate linework are built up in stages to create a luminous artwork painted on 600gsm Arches paper with deckled edges ideal for float framing.
