Artwork Story: This piece shows a lone female forest Red-tailed Black Cockatoo feeding on gumnuts out in the open, even though a storm is making it's way in. I wanted this piece to represent the many strong, resilient & brave females we are all lucky enough to know, who no matter how tough their situation is, they still work so hard to show up and give it their all. The reference photo I used of the Cockatoo is actually one of the beautiful residents at Kaarakin Black Cockatoo Conservation Centre, the background image was from a bush walk in the Perth hills, and the tree stump I made up myself, I wanted the texture to represent a Marri tree, the broken part was difficult, as I had to imagine the right shapes, shadows and lighting, but I think it turned out ok.
