Red Handed

A Gang-Gang Cockatoo leans toward a glass of red, figs scattered like evidence of indulgence. With his distinctive crimson crest and unmistakably cheeky expression, he appears caught mid-moment - curious, daring, and unapologetically bold.

Built through layered abstraction and rich tonal contrasts, this painting explores warmth, depth, and playful mischief.

The wine introduces a sense of evening ease - that moment when conversation deepens and restraint softens. Red-Handed captures confidence with a wink - spirited, charismatic, and impossible to ignore.

Part of the Cockies & Cocktails series - a collection celebrating Australian and American birdlife, bold colour, and the joy found in life’s lighter moments.
