"Te Huia o te Tomokanga"
Oil on Linen
1500x1500mm
2003
Description.
This is a large format oil painting on fine quality linen. It depicts the extinct Huia bird of New Zealand. The bird portrait image was sourced from a specimen at the Auckland Museum which is common for many of my images. The image is painted in broad paint marks for the body and feathers, however, details have been picked out to emphasize the beak and eyes.
