A black cockatoo perches among golden-green eucalyptus leaves against a warm rust-red background, its feathers rendered in deep purple and charcoal with intricate texture and detail. The composition captures the bird in profile with its distinctive crest raised, surrounded by naturalistic foliage in an illustrative style that combines bold color blocking with fine linear work. Crafted from durable canvas-like poly-poplin and made to order, double-stitched with a cotton webbing strap. The everyday haul, from groceries to the beach, carrying an independent artist's work.
