🌿 The Story Behind the Artwork
Fantail Study 18 celebrates the lively charm and energetic spirit of the New Zealand fantail (pīwakawaka). Perched lightly on a branch, this small native bird is shown mid-curious glance, its delicate feathers and expressive tail captured in detailed graphite.
Fantails are known for their inquisitive behaviour and distinctive fanned tails, which they constantly flick as they flit through the forest in search of insects. Their bold, curious nature often brings them close to people, making them a familiar and beloved presence in New Zealand gardens and bush alike.
This drawing highlights their quick movements and alert personality, capturing a fleeting moment of natural grace in fine pencil strokes.
