Meet ‘Fanfare’ — a lively celebration of Australia’s much-loved Rufous Fantail. This is a one-of-a-kind original Australian bird artwork, hand painted in ink and watercolour, capturing the constant motion and personality of these fascinating native birds.

The Rufous Fantail is known for its restless energy and signature tail-flitting behaviour, and this original bird painting captures that sense of movement in full swing. Flowing brushwork and rich burnt orange tones bring warmth, rhythm and vibrancy to the composition, creating a sense that the birds are never still — always flitting about.

This is a unique original Australiana artwork, making it a true collector’s piece for lovers of Australian wildlife art, original bird paintings, and contemporary Australiana home décor.

To highlight the detail and authenticity of the original work, ‘Fanfare’ is professionally float-mounted, allowing the edges of the artwork to remain visible and reinforcing its status as a hand-painted original. It is then professionally framed behind premium non-reflective art glass, reducing glare so the colour, texture and movement of the ink and watercolour painting can be experienced in full light, from every angle.

Perfect for collectors of** original Australian bird art, Rufous Fantail artwork, Frogmouth art, and contemporary wildlife wall art**, this piece is ready to hang and designed to bring movement, energy and a little wild Australian magic into your space.

This original has been float-mounted and framed with Tasmanian Oak under non-reflective art glass. 

Art size: 260 x 260mm. Frame size: 360x360mm

This artwork has been hand painted with professional-grade watercolour paint and detailed with a traditional nib and highly concentrated ink on 300gsm 100% cotton hot-pressed watercolour paper. 
*Price is for the framed artwork only. Freight will be based on your delivery location. Sydney, NSW pick up available.

 

Fun facts about the Rufous Fantail:

The Rufous Fantail is found in northern and eastern coastal Australia, being more common in the north. It is also found in New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Sulawesi and Guam. The dainty Rufous Fantail is usually seen flitting about below the canopy of moist eucalypt forests and rainforests, inhabiting the dense, shady undergrowth of gullies. Foraging mostly in the air, they often perch restlessly on the branches, with their wings continually fidgeting and the tail almost always fanned, regularly making short, jerky flights out from the perch, flitting and fluttering, diving, twisting and looping near the foliage and branches to dislodge, flush out or catch insect prey. When fanned, its tail is almost twice as wide as its body and, unlike many bird species where the male has the more impressive plumage, the female Rufous Fantail is just as brightly coloured, if a little smaller. Sometimes Rufous Fantails join forces with other birds to hunt out the small insects they love to eat, teaming up with the Spectacled Monarch, Large-Billed Scrubwren, Green-Backed Honeyeater and the Little Shrike-thrush. The Rufous Fantail’s call is either a series of thin whistles with rising pitch or making a single or double ‘chip’. Their call can serve as both an alarm to warn off predators when hunting for food or as a way to attract a mate. Conservation Status: Secure.
