I was travelling in northern Western Australia and whilst in Roebourne was lucky enough to pull up next to an dead tree just as this pair of Galah Cockatoos alighted. They made the perfect shape and mister provided shade for missus, hence the title, 'Finding Shade'. Galahs are the most beautiful shade of pink. These two were just above the red dirt (also known as Pindan) of the Pilbara in Western Australia. The red colour bounces up to meet their plumage.
'Finding Shade' won the People's Choice Prize at The Minnawarra Art Awards. This is the text I sent with the painting.
The bold, beautiful colours and clear, laser sharp light of an Australian summer. Two galahs create a perfect right angle as they settle briefly on a gnarled old tree. The female has made the better choice of perch as she enjoys the scant shade afforded by her partner’s body. Light reflects up from the red dirt below and sings upon their plumage contrasting against an achingly blue sky.
