This striking original captures an affectionate pair of galahs resting cheek to cheek, painted by Robyn Clarke in bold acrylic on canvas. The plumage moves from warm rose-coral and soft white through to delicate lilac, with blue light playing across their pale crests, all set against a textured sky-blue ground.
Where Robyn's pencil work builds detail line by line, here the paint does the work in broad, sure sweeps, and the effect is warmth rather than precision. The tight crop brings you eye to eye with the pair, filling the canvas with their closeness. Even at this scale, the markings that tell them apart hold true: the dark brown iris of the male alongside the ruby-red eye of the female, each framed by a finely textured orbital ring.
Galahs are among Australia's most familiar and beloved cockatoos, found across almost all of Australia in open woodland, farmland and urban parks alike. Highly social, they pair for life and keep close company year-round, often seen preening, resting and feeding side by side within larger flocks.
