Black Beauty
A white-faced heron is painted in great detail, seen from the side standing on a rock, one leg slightly raised in an elegant pose. This small heron species is mostly a blue-grey colour, with a white face and long grey bill, contrasted by a light yellow eye and long yellow legs. This bird is focused and ready to strike the water for his next meal of fish. The background is a loose watercolour splash of blue, suggesting a wetland. Artwork by Nadya Neklioudova.
Blue Dream
A watercolour painting of a Barn Owl, sitting with folded wings and looking back over its shoulder. Behind the owl is a circle, suggesting the field of view of a telescope, and a watercolour version of the Orion Nebula in pinks, mauves and purples. Outside the circle and behind the Owl is a grey textured background wash.
Orion Owl
A Rainbow Bee-eater splashes into the water and emerges to fly upwards. The bird’s wings are painted loosely as to convey their flapping motion. Underneath and all around the bird are splashes of water droplets, chaos against an otherwise calm green backdrop of a forest pond.
Splash!
A tall canvas with a golden acrylic background, displaying a black cockatoo’s striking tail feather as if in a collection. The feather is striped with black, red and yellow.
Black Cockatoo Feather
Blue Wren on Emerald Green
A square watercolour with a soft purplish-blue background wash, to set off the white and light-yellow tones of a Sulphur Crested Cockatoo in profile. The Cockatoo is looking to the left, with a cheeky grin.
Cheeky Cockatoo
In the centre of this watercolour artwork is an allegory of Mother Nature, in very soft grey tones. She is calm and serene, with her eyes closed. Her hair becomes a spray of native Wattle, Callistemon and Flowering Gum, and a colourful Rainbow Lorikeet is perched on Her shoulder.
Connection with Nature
Two Yellow Robins perch on the side of a twisting rainforest tree, hunting for insects amongst the mosses and small ferns that grow on the tree. Behind the trees is a warm background glow of a rainforest bathed in sunrise.

King of the Fairies
A Glossy Black Cockatoo with wings stretched upwards flies in the air, with a watercolour sunrise background.
Flight of Hope
A young Cassowary stares right at you in this bright, whimsical watercolour painting.
Looking Deadly
Upon a bright background watercolour wash of magenta at the top graduating to pale yellow at the bottom, stands a confident Crested Pigeon, facing the viewer directly. He stands with his head bowed, tail fanned out and high in the air, and wings opened with feathers aimed up in beautiful display, showing the iridescent magenta and green feathers of the wings.
Looking For Love
This gentle Magpie is painted in watercolours on fine art paper, with salt textures creating the feathers on the body, and shades of blue in the plumage reflecting the blue of the surrounding floral pattern. Faint blue grevilleas appear in the background, for extra interest - an iconic Australian flower. Artwork by Nadya Neklioudova.

Seeds of Happiness
A drawing of a cute sleeping Boobook Owl, sitting in a tree hollow, clearly asleep with eyes closed. The artwork has a limited colour palette of mainly brown for the tree and owl's feathers, with blues and greys for shading. The texture of the tree is made up of ink pen scribbles.
