Keeping an Eye on You offers an intimate, close‑up encounter with the striking intelligence of Australia’s native wildlife. The artwork isolates the detailed profile of a black cockatoo, drawing the viewer directly into its watchful gaze. Using rich, layered palette‑knife strokes, Sue Adams brings the bird’s plumage to life — deep blues and purples accented with flashes of gold, orange, and light. The textured surface gives the feathers a sculptural quality, while the bird’s piercing eye commands attention against a softly blended background of lavender and green.
A captivating piece that celebrates the beauty and personality of one of Australia’s most iconic birds.
