If I Were King - Red Tail Black Cockatoo (2022) By HSIN LIN

This artwork was inspired by my visit to the Ballarat Bird World. I spent a wonderful day observing this precious friend – a Red Tail Black Cockatoo, one of my favourite Australian Native Birds. 

Male Red Tail Black Cockatoo is normally jet black and has a band of bright red in the tail and a dark grey beak. Female Black Cockatoo has yellow speckles on the head and breast, yellow patches on the tail, and feathers in duller black and whitish beak.

There’s also a saying that black cockatoo stands for the energy of empowerment, happiness and contentment. The power of spirit comes into our lives, strengthening our own spirit and soul.

The latest piece of my animal series -THE VOICE OF NATURE –.
