Description Kea with Fantails, Beech Strawberries, Silver Beech, and butterflies.

I was able to see all these species myself when I did the Milford Track in the Southern Alps.

I painted this series of artworks for the April Feature in The Original heART Gallery New Zealand. They can be purchased through the gallery website.

Each one is painted in oil on A3 sized Canvas paper.

So beautiful!! The border is gorgeous, loving the fantails... Your use of colour is exceptional as well.

Thank you.  I miss seeing fantails.  No other creature moves like them.

THanks. I tried to capture the feel of being on the Milford track, especially the light.

I saw a show once that rated them as the most intelligent animal in the world when it comes to puzzles.
