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.

This artwork radiates energy and character. The bold palette and tactile texture make the cockatoo feel almost alive, while the harmonious background adds calm balance. It’s a piece that draws you in — expressive, elegant, and full of personality — perfect for anyone who loves Australian wildlife or contemporary art with a vibrant edge.
