Shannon couldn’t pass up painting such a stunning’ bird with such an amazing array of colours and textures! The most fun was had capturing its intricate feather patterns with Shannon's signature inky textures, which is beautifully balanced by the rich, vibrant watercolours! With personality for days, Shannon depicted the Eastern Rosella to have an air of (justified) cheeky arrogance, as they truly seem to 'know' how beautiful they are!
About this bird:
The Eastern Rosella is one of the iconic sights of Australia, native to the eastern states of the continent and Tasmania. Found in open woods, grass, farmland and bushland, they are also often found in urban areas. Despite the bold colouration, their plumage is patterned so that it creates an extremely effective camouflage. When they are feeding on the ground or perched among the foliage they can be very difficult to see which also assists in avoiding detection by potential predators. These incredibly playful and unique birds mate for life. The female chooses and prepares the nesting site, usually a hollow in a eucalypt tree, where she incubates the eggs while the male regularly feeds her. They unfortunately now have to compete with introduced species for suitable nest hollows and are often killed by domestic pets and strays. The Eastern Rosella is on the IUCN’s list as a non-threatened breed of ‘Least Concern’.

What is a Giclée?
Giclée is a printing process using high-quality digital files, archival-grade pigments and acid free media resulting in a fade-free image which achieves a seemingly “dot-less” imaging technology (which varies from traditional fine art printing which typically relies on screen pattern dots to reproduce full-range colour halftones). The Giclée process enables reproduction on virtually the same media as the original artwork.
