Honeyeaters Stickers

Australian Blue-Faced Honeyeaters, birds painted in acrylics

I didn't go out bird watching on this rainy day. Instead, the birds came to me; a family of blue-faced honeyeaters visited the banksia in my front garden. It really was "Sweet rain"

Came across this painting of mine just last week when I was called out to look at some restoration work for a client in Epping; I'd completely forgotten that I'd made this piece for them back in about 1998 as part of a larger stained glass window to a dressing room. They have quite a collection of stained glass installed in many windows of the house. The flowers are the Australian native Thorny Mountain Devil, named after the apparent horns that develop on the large seed pods. Approx 250mm dia. triple fired paints, enamels and stain on Kokomo glass

When the Coral Trees light up towards Spring each year, the New Holland Honeyeaters come out to play!

After a lot of pushing and shoving, these critically endangered Helmeted Honeyeaters both got a bit of nectar! Taken at Healesville Sanctuary in Victoria, Australia.

Each year when the bottlebrushes come into flower in our area, a colony of Scarlet Honeyeaters move in...to the delight of all the local bird photographers.

A cheerful design, watercolour painting of a scarlet honeyeater during flight has very minimal ink highlights.

The Blue Faced Honeyeaters at Healesville Sanctuary in Victoria, Australia, are always busy. This Spring they are working really hard on a new nest in this tree hollow.
