There’s something about kookaburras that’s always felt close to home for me. They’re cheeky, grounded, full of character — the kind of birds that make you stop what you’re doing just to listen. Growing up surrounded by the sounds of the bush, their laugh was a constant — a reminder of place, light, and that untamed Australian spirit I always try to capture in my work. In Two Kookaburras, I wanted to paint that feeling — not just the birds themselves, but the energy between them. The composition is simple: two figures perched side by side on a worn branch, surrounded by a wash of soft ochres, moss greens, and muted purples. It’s a palette pulled straight from the landscape — the bark, the soil, the distant horizon. The brushwork is loose and instinctive, letting the paint carry the texture and rhythm of the bush. This piece is part of my new collection — an exploration of connection, movement, and the unseen threads that tie us to the land. For me, these kookaburras are more than a subject; they’re a memory and a feeling. They remind me of early mornings, that first burst of laughter through the trees, and how even in stillness, the land hums with life.

Through the use of mixed media, combining acrylics, spray, enamel and intermittent use of oil paints I let my subject emerge from a rich and deeply layered base. The dimensional texture that masterfully unveils each layer, lets the bright colours play in harmony and contrast with each other.
This artwork is created on 380gsm 100% cotton canvas and finished with a double coat UV resistant, high gloss varnish to protect the integrity and longevity of the painting. Stretched and ready to hang, using gallery-grade hanging wire, this artwork is completed with a custom-crafted floating frame made from Tasmanian oak. I have signed this original painting on the front and back, with its title and date written on the rear of the canvas.
