Fantail on Kōwhai — Original Artwork

Fantail on Kōwhai

Original coloured pencil bird artwork.

An original coloured pencil drawing inspired by the fleeting presence of a New Zealand fantail (pīwakawaka) among kōwhai blossoms.

Fantails are restless, inquisitive native birds; they rarely sit still for long. In this artwork, the pīwakawaka is captured in a brief pause, balanced lightly among the soft yellow flowers of kōwhai. The contrast between movement and stillness sits at the heart of the piece.

Drawn in coloured pencil, the artwork invites close attention to texture and detail, the fine structure of feathers and the warmth of the kōwhai flowers.
