Original Size 50 x 50 cm

The native Wax Eye (or Silvereye) took some time to do but kept me entertained through various lockdown phases. The fun with this was in the brushstrokes on the chest feathers.
See the "making of" video here and more on the YouTube channel.
Slightly smaller than a sparrow, the silvereye is olive-green with a ring of white feathers around the eye. Males have slightly brighter plumage than females. They have a fine tapered bill and a brush tipped tongue like the tui and bellbird. Silvereyes mainly eat insects, fruit and nectar.
