It is no surprise Tawny Frogmouth’s are one of Australia’s most loved birds – voted BirdLife Australia bird of the year poll 2025.
My big painting of two baby Tawny’s took 10 weeks to create. The detail and variety of tones in the feathers became a much-loved time consuming obsession.
As the two kids morphed and characterised onto the canvas they adopted the names of Sparky and Gus. Sparky on watch and Gus contemplating their future.
Thank you to Rebecca Harrison for graciously providing the reference photo as inspiration for this painting.
