ABOUT THE PAINTING
The morepork, also known in Maori as 'ruru' because of it's distinctive, melancholy call, is one of New Zealand's two native owl species.
Baby moreporks are one of my favourite creatures to paint because of their beautiful golden yellow eyes and intense, comical expressions - amidst all the fluff!
In this piece I enjoyed combining the warm brown and yellow tones of the owl with the delicate blues of the wild cornflowers. If you look carefully, you'll also see another little creature lurking in the foliage, perhaps hoping to escape the notice of the owl!
