Winged Majesty

This acrylic painting captures a striking moment of a cockatoo mid-motion, spreading its wings while perched on an aged, gnarled tree twig. The bird’s plumage is rendered with vivid brushwork, showcasing the soft yet radiant textures of its white and yellow feathers. The wings, stretched wide, convey both power and grace, commanding attention as they contrast against a more subdued natural background.

The old tree twig, painted with rough textures and earthy tones, anchors the composition and highlights the elegance of the bird above it.

The painting celebrates both the beauty and wild spirit of the cockatoo, symbolising freedom, alertness, and vitality in a world aged by time.
