Paradise Painting

The bird depicted in the painting is based on Lawes’s Parotia Bird-of-Paradise found in Papua New Guinea. What makes this bird-of-paradise somewhat unique are the delicate feathers that sprout from the male’s head. The artist began the work by painting the background with streaks of light and dark purple. She then added a wash of gold acrylic paint, adding texture to it by the addition of a resist technique. Robin Ballard enjoys the play between realism and the abstract, so instead of depicting her bird in a tree, she decided to paint brown lines, which symbolize branches. The bird itself has a lively expression and seems to be on the verge of flying away.
