    I know just where this is, I used to go walking through here as a kid. There is a patch of huge gum trees near by which roosts a clan of Glossy Tail Black Cockatoos.

    I have always wanted to try painting This is a nice capture.

    Great to see you on here.

    These colours are so right, I think this must have been painted outdoors and not from a photo. Wonderful work.

  • Shallay, what a lovely thing to hear!! I did paint it from a photo taken on my Blackberry believe it or not, however I am pretty familiar with the Gorge, I spend an awful lot of time at the winey up there!!
    So thank you very much, it means a lot to hear you say that :)

    I love the way you have painted this…great colours …very Aussie!

  • Thanks so much MrsW!! It is terribly aussie…..yesterday there was a bushfire there not far from where I painted this…..no really bad damage done and no homes or property threatened which is a relief, but you can’t get much more australian than that can you?

    this is super nice- i like that you do many different styles too that keeps you fresh and not bored with one note!of song-

  • Thanks madvlad, I would get very bored if only sticking to one style, I love to mix it up and try new things!
