In this piece, a sulphur-crested cockatoo pauses in a quiet moment of nourishment, cradling a vivid native bloom between its claws. Its gaze meets yours — steady, unhurried, fully here.
The deep crimson and olive foliage that frames the bird reflects the wild abundance of the natural world, while the brilliant white feathers and the burst of Ironbark flower hold your attention at the centre — a reminder that beauty lives most fully in the present moment.
This piece invites you to slow down, to breathe, and to be where you are. Like the cockatoo, simply present. Simply at peace.Try it!
