Eastern Whipbird Original Gouache Painting on Paper

Original Gouache Painting

The Eastern Whipbird (Psophodes olivaceus) is a passerine insectivorous bird native to the east coast of Australia. Known for its unusual and impressive song, which resembles a whip-crack and is often immediately answered by a two note call from a nearby female, this dark olive green, black and white small bird is illusive, usually foraging and moving around in the vegetation.

A4 — 21cm x 29.7cm.

Signed on the front. A certificate of authenticity will be provided with the artwork. The painting will arrive unframed, in a protective cellophane envelope.
