My time living in Collingswood drew me into the quiet joy of birding. Inspired by local spots like Cooper River and serene moments at Palmyra Nature Cove, I took this time to translate these experiences onto canvas. Acrylics provide the base, but building texture with plaster and rendering playful details evoke the magic of birdwatching. When viewing this piece of a Kea bird, the resourceful and playful alpine parrot, I encourage you to slow down, appreciate the details, and lose yourself in the textured feathers and limewash style atmosphere.
