Waratahs

Oil painting on canvas.
51cm x 41cm

Crimson waratahs flare brightly, their petals dense and luminous in the frame. Yet among this richness, a crow holds its place. Its dark form unsettles the bloom-filled scene, shifting it from mere celebration into something more watchful. Often imagined as a messenger, here the bird is also a witness — turning its gaze outward, meeting our own. The painting asks what it means to encounter beauty under watch, where the viewer is no longer only the observer but also the one observed.
