This graphite portrait celebrates the striking beauty and confident personality of New Zealand’s native tūī.
I often see tūī visiting my garden, and they never fail to stand out. Their glossy plumage, distinctive white throat feathers, and elegant details make them fascinating birds to observe up close. They are also wonderfully energetic, often performing acrobatic movements while feeding on native plants such as harakeke (flax).
This portrait captures a tūī perched on harakeke flowers, highlighting the unique features and character that make this native songbird so recognisable.
Originally created in graphite, this artwork focuses on the fine textures and contrasts that bring this remarkable bird to life.
Size: A4 (210 × 297 mm / 8.3 × 11.7 in)
Printed on quality 300gsm satin paper.
Each print is individually signed and carefully packaged with backing board for protection.
