Original Etching - The Visitors

Whenever I hear that beautiful slow cry of a yellow-tailed black cockatoo I rush out of my studio to see if I can see them. I always feel graced with their presence and it gladdens me. They are nomadic, following the food, so they only visit when their favourite foods are available. I think in our town it's the hakea trees.

This is a small original dry point etching, inked up by hand and pulled through my printing press on Hahnemulhe cotton rag paper.

My favourite birds! Their call will make you drop what they are doing to see their slow, majestic flight.
