Shady Lady #4

This original stencil artwork by Melbourne artist Geoff Cunningham celebrates the bold colour, personality and beauty of Australian native birds. Each piece is created using hand-cut stencils and layered spray techniques, highlighting the strong shapes and natural character of Australia’s birdlife. Inspired by everyday backyard and bushland sightings, these artworks blend contemporary stencil design with a warm sense of Australian nostalgia.

"After my wife bought a bunch of 'Shady Lady' waratahs at a market, I was intrigued by the rhythm and pattern of the flower, and thought I'd like to challenge myself to cut a stencil of it."

There is a multi layered abstract background, oversprayed  through lace to create a pattern that gives the painting an old world charm, but with a modern twist.

Aerosol & acrylic on artist quality canvas 70 x 70 cm (73 X73 framed), this piece is framed in a natural oak floating frame.

* I know this is not a bird, but it doesn't fit in any of my other collections - just go with it!
