Tūī on Harakeke

Tūī on Harakeke - 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 Harakeke, features a detailed study of a tūī perched beside vibrant yellow harakeke (flax) blossoms.

The bird is meticulously painted across three dark upright feathers, which are bound at the base with black cord and a subtle gold-toned bead.

The deep, natural tones of the feathers provide a rich backdrop that emphasizes 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.
