The Silvereye bird and the color green — with all its varied shades — are the inspiration behind this painting. The deep bush is their happy place. It feeds them, shelters them and keeps them safe. This is where they come every morning without fail — to eat, to rest, to simply be themselves away from everything else.

Everything around the birds is kept simple and understated in this acrylic painting. The leaves, the light, the flowers — painted quietly in the background so we see only the birds and their movements.
