A whisper of wild freedom, where tūī’s call meets the endless blue.
In the heart of this piece, a tūī perches with quiet confidence, surrounded by a symphony of blue cornflowers. The deep iridescence of its feathers catches the light, shifting between emerald, sapphire, and ink-black—a reflection of its ever-changing, untamed spirit. The native flax, with its strong, grounding presence, stands as a reminder of home and resilience.
The tūī is a messenger, a voice of the wild that carries echoes of ancestors and the whispers of the wind. Its song is both playful and profound, a reminder to express our truth with clarity and courage. The cornflowers, usually found in open fields, feel like a dreamlike contrast—a meeting of two worlds, where the known and the unexpected intertwine.
As I painted, I felt the energy of expansion, a call to rise, to sing, to embrace the beauty that unfolds when we allow ourselves to be fully present. Song of the Sky invites you to listen beyond what is spoken, to feel the rhythm of nature, and to find your own voice in the great unfolding of life.
