Black Cockatoo

Ally Proudlock, Black Cockatoo, acrylic on canvas

As if sitting for its regal portrait, this cheeky black cockatoo puffs up his plumage which is a deep black with blue shadows speckled in yellow. Its eye gazes upwards, with its face turned towards to side to show off a shiny yet aged beak, this cockatoo is beautiful in its wisdom that exudes from the work.
