Just a little info on these truly beautiful birds!!

These Tiny rock wrens or Piwauwau are approx 10 centimetres long, from its bill to the end of its very distinct short tail. These we birds are found above the treeline, between 900 and 2,500 metres altitude. They live under large boulders at the foot of screes and rock falls. In summer rock wrens hop and buzz about on short rounded wings, feeding on insects or collecting materials to build their nests.  Once winter snows arrive, they survive in pockets of space in their rock or scrub shelter.  Rock wrens fly close to the ground, their flights rarely exceeding 30 metres.  They move astonishingly quickly, diving in and out of crevices. On the ground they bob energetically up and down, flicking their wings.

Here is a little info on this cheeky wee bird!

The call of ke-aa ringing through the air is deeply evocative of New Zealands Southern Alps. Kea are parrots that have adapted to life in the mountains. Kea are either loved for their elaborate antics or disliked for the damage they can do. Their intelligent curiosity equips them well for the harsh conditions in which they live. Kea investigate anything and everything with their immensely strong beaks, tongues, and hand-like claws. They work out how to open all sorts of containers, particularly rubbish bins, in search of titbits. In mountain huts and villages it is a challenge to devise a kea-proof container. Residents who leave doors open may return to find upholstery and mats shredded

1) This portrait was inspired by my visit to the Louvre … I love anything to do with Egypt ! not sure why I am so fixated with Egypt but I love anything Egyptian ….

So this portrait I have created was inspired by a wax painting on wood ,Funerary portrait of a young woman known as “Portrait of the Faiyum”

I have painted this on Hot Press Paper using Golden Acrylic Paint.

Portrait of the Faiyum

Portraits Pulled Art -  I have started with a blank canvas as you would say in this case a blank sheet of  watercolour paper .

Pulled art simply implies to what image you can pull from the background… I have written words, scribbled and made heaps of different shapes onto the paper, (using, pencils and pastels and acrylic paint) and then continued to do this with several layers until I am happy with what I see…  then I have Pulled a Portrait out of the shapes that have appeared through the top layer…  You can pull any picture out of this, but I am just working on creating all different types of portraits at this stage so I am looking for any type of facial features I can see, like a nose lips eyes etc… so here are a couple of my Not so Beautiful Beauties …..
