Pale Headed Rosella in acrylics

I had a few visits over the years of the Pale Headed Rosella to my garden.  The last time one visited I managed to take a few photos of it eating the seed pods off one of my trees.  I think I ended up taking 50 plus photos and only few turned out suitable as a reference, but it was great so see one again.

Autumn Day in acrylic

I have fun painting this one.  I basically just used the reference photo for the placement of the trees and sky as the reference photo was taken in spring so decided to change it to an autumn scene instead.  I mixed Heavy Gel into the paint to give the leaves more texture.  Really pleased with how it turned out.
