Original Rainbow Lorikeet Painting
This acrylic painting bursts with the energy and vibrancy of the Rainbow Lorikeet, captured from a photograph I took at the Zurich Zoo in Switzerland. The bird’s dazzling plumage—electric blue, emerald green, fiery orange, and sunny yellow—is rendered with expressive brushwork and close attention to detail. Its posture is alert and lively, reflecting the lorikeet’s curious nature. To honor its native habitat, the piece is matted with a custom fabric featuring Australian plants, adding a tactile and thematic layer that connects the artwork to the bird’s ecological roots. A simplified background ensures the lorikeet remains the focal point, allowing its saturated hues and dynamic presence to shine.
Acrylic paint on hot press paper. Matted to 11×14 with a custom fabric mat. One of a kind.

About the Rainbow Lorikeet
The Rainbow Lorikeet is a brilliantly colored parrot native to Australia’s eastern coast. These birds thrive in rainforests, coastal bushlands, and urban gardens, often seen in noisy flocks darting through the canopy. Their brush-tipped tongues allow them to feed on nectar and pollen, making them vital pollinators. Rainbow Lorikeets are monogamous and nest in tree hollows, raising their young together. Their vivid plumage and cheerful calls make them beloved symbols of Australia’s avian diversity.
