Red Winged Parrot

Red winged parrot oil painting on European Linen.

Inspired by the Australian tradition of fauna illustration, and by the beautiful Red Winged Parrot.  Their range is from the Pilbara, Western Australia to Cape York Peninsula, Queensland (to be seen almost all over Queensland) and as south as northeast South Australia. They are occasionally spotted in south New Guinea.  These birds inhabit riverine forests, forest edges, acacia scrub, savanna, mangroves, and farmlands. They are seen often in pairs or flocks near water.
