If ever there was a bird born to cause a cheerful ruckus, it’s a Sulphur-crested Cockatoo — and ‘Giggle’ is here in all its feathery, cheeky glory. This one-of-a-kind original Australian bird artwork captures the playful personality of one of Australia’s most iconic native birds, with dreamy washes of pink, purple and blue set off by that unmistakable sunny yellow crest.

Hand painted in my signature ink and watercolour style, ‘Giggle’ is an original artwork — not a print — making it a truly unique piece for collectors of Australian wildlife art and colourful Australiana home décor. To really show off the beauty of the original painting, it has been professionally float-mounted, allowing the edges of the artwork to be seen and celebrated, rather than hidden away. It is then professionally framed in Tasmanian Oak behind premium non-reflective art glass, so you can enjoy all the detail, colour and character without battling glare every time the sun decides to show off.

This framed original cockatoo artwork is perfect for anyone who loves Australian bird art, original watercolour paintings, native wildlife artwork, or bold and joyful statement pieces for the home. Equal parts elegant and larrikin, ‘Giggle’ is ready to hang and ready to charm the socks off your wall.

This original has been float-mounted and framed with Tasmanian Oak under non-reflective art glass. 

Art size: 260 x 260mm. Frame size: 360x360mm

This artwork has been hand painted with professional-grade watercolour paint and detailed with a traditional nib and highly concentrated ink on 300gsm 100% cotton hot-pressed watercolour paper. 
*Price is for the framed artwork only. Freight will be based on your delivery location. Sydney, NSW pick up available.

 

Fun facts about the Sulphur-crested Cockatoo:
Ranging throughout the northern and eastern mainland of Australia and Tasmania, the Sulphur-crested Cockatoo is one noisy and conspicuous bird, both at rest and in flight. Found in a variety of timbered habitats and common around urban environments, the birds stay in the same area all year round and have been known to live up to 80+ years of age when in captivity. A highly social bird, they spend a lot of time in flocks, foraging on the ground or roosting together in trees. Known for its raucous calls that echo through the forest, this intelligent bird is a masterful communicator, utilizing an extensive repertoire of squawks, screeches and whistles to communicate with its flock. Beyond its vocal prowess, these Cockatoos display remarkable intelligence and problem-solving abilities, often observed using tools to extract food or solve puzzles. Despite the challenges posed to wildlife by urbanization, Sulphur-crested Cockatoos have shown resilience and resourcefulness in thriving amidst human development. Their ability to coexist with humans in urban settings underscores their adaptability and highlights the importance of conservation efforts to protect their populations and preserve their natural behaviours in both urban and wild habitats. Conservation Status: Least Concern.

Above the River: The Complete Poems of James Wright
Format: Paperback
James Wright is a terrific, though not well known, American poet of the 1950's and 60's. Along with Robert Bly and William Duffey, Wright helped to open a new page in modern poetry which encouraged writers to break from the restrictions of traditional British formats. Personal and reflective, the poems focus on nature and have a strong touch of influence from ancient Chinese poets. Though the collection is filled with great stuff, my favorite is "Northern Pike."

Sublime Poetry Slightly Flawed by Format
Format: Paperback
I hate to give this work anything less than 5-stars, because at the moment (and probably most future moments) I revere James Wright's poetry. He makes blue collar blackened river Ohio come alive riven death with darkness and life. So this book is a must for poetry lovers. Where it distracts me is the attempts at completeness is a difficult editor's dilemma and one that doesn't serve the poet or the poet's reader well here. There are two James Wright's out there (this book presents three), as is true with most sublimated artist that pass through a learning phase before hitting on their voice, their style. James Wright started as a formalist (not my favored style) hailing structure and rhyme sometimes at the expense of meaning and language (disclaimer...one man's humble opinion belies a personal taste and no two taste buds seem the same). The book of course being a complete work, offers all of those poems of bandied prose. And then the editor offers a bridge or break of sorts in Wright's translated works of German and Spanish poets. Wright was a great poet in English, but the gift of gifted translation should have been left to the likes of W.S. Merwin, Anthony Kerrigan, Charles Tomlinson, and Stephen Mitchell for Neruda, Paz, and Rilke. So, Wright's "Above the River," really first breaks the surface on page 119 after his epiphany to all thing free form. It is then that his poetry sings darkly. I leave you with some of Wright's beautiful language (there's plenty to be had). Buy the book for the rest. In Fear of Harvests It has happened Before: nearby, The nostrils of slow horses Breathe evenly, And the brown bees drag their high garlands, Heavily, Toward hives of snow.

A Twentieth Century Teasure
Format: Paperback
James Wright's poems are acts of courage. His persistent advocacy of the underdog is real and clear-eyed(American Twilights 1957, written fo the executed killer Caryl Chessman). "Arrangements with Earth for Three Dead Friends" is one of the most moving elegies I know in the language (taken from his early career). Then there are the wonderful and luminous translations "ten Short Poems: from the Spanish of Juan Ramon Jiminez, Pablo Neruda's "Anguish of Death", Cesar Vallejo's "I Am Freed" and many others. These are vital and wide-ranging poems that belong in every library.

Wow! Wright Rocks!
Format: Paperback
This collection brings together both the greater & lesser known works of James Wright so that students or lovers of poetry can get a true feeling for his style & focus. Some pieces seem less focused, while others hone in with cruel beauty on those moments where the literal and the figurative worlds collide. Brilliant poet. I recommend this book especially to serious students of poetry.
