'FRIDA' the Noisy Friarbird - original artwork marsupial these Cockatoos display remarkable intelligenceThe Noisy Friarbird isn't the most conventionally 'beautiful bird', but its prehistoric vibes and bold personality made it a bird I absolutely needed to paint! I loved capturing its harsh, intense stare and leathery head against the contrast of its fluffy breast feathers. And, for lovers of the movie 'The Dark Crystal', I feel this bird was the muse for the 'Skeksis'! This artwork has been hand painted with professional grade watercolour paint and
