I really love painting our native birds and adding as much detail as I can Check out the detail the painted tree branch!!

I love painting NZ Native Birds and would like to introduce you to this artwork 4 Sale titled “A quiet place to Land”

A Little about these lovely birds…

The silvereye, also known as wax-eye, or white-eye, has a conspicuous white ring around the eye, thus giving the bird it’s name. The head and upperparts are olive green with a grey band across the back which extends around the chest. The underparts are a peachy brown with white under the tail. Quite an attractive colourful bird when seen through the lens.

Silvereyes feed on a variety of foods, invertebrates, fruit, nectar and will feed in flocks over winter in gardens and parks from bird tables, eating fats, cooked meats, and bread and sugar water. They have a specially adapted tongue, with bristles, which allows them to lap up nectar. They prefer the fruit of native trees but do feed on other fruiting species.

An American Indian Legend
“If anyone desires a wish to come true they must first capture a butterfly and Whisper that wish to it.
Since a butterfly can make no sound, the butterfly can not reveal the wish to anyone but the Great Spirit who hears and sees all.
In gratitude for giving the beautiful butterfly its freedom, the Great Spirit always grants the wish. So, according to legend, by making a wish and giving the butterfly its freedom, the wish will be taken to the heavens and be granted”

I LOVE THIS WEE BIRD IT IS SO CUTE!!

100mm x 100mm

Acrylic

SOLD

The South Island Tomtit or Ngirungiru is from the family of the Australian Robin.

The species is not threatened and has adapted to the changes made to New Zealand’s biodiversity.

There are five subspecies of the Tomtit, each species being restricted to each of the following islands or island groups, North Island, South Island, the Snares Islands, the Chatham Islands and the Auckland Islands. Four of these five subspecies have been elevated to full species in the past (the Chatham subspecies was retained with the South Island Tomtit), but genetic studies have shown that these subspecies diverged relatively recently
