Tūī on Pōhutukawa

Tūī on Pōhutukawa - Framed | Beth McGill

Beth McGill captures the intricate beauty of New Zealand’s native birdlife through delicate, hand-painted feathers.

This framed work, titled Tūī on Pōhutukawa, features a detailed study of a tūī perched among vibrant red pōhutukawa blossoms.

The bird is meticulously painted across three dark upright feathers, which are bound at the base with black cord and subtle beadwork.

The deep, natural tones of the feathers provide a rich backdrop that emphasises the bird's iridescent plumage and the bright floral accents.

Presented in a sleek white box frame, this piece serves as a sophisticated tribute to the vibrant energy of Aotearoa’s native flora and fauna.
