Backyard is a striking original painting by Kirsty Nixon, featuring a Kārearea (New Zealand Falcon) perched on a rugged wooden fence post on the left side of the composition. The powerful bird sits with quiet stoicism, its detailed feathers sharply defined as it gazes beyond the frame to the right. Behind it, golden rolling hills stretch across the landscape, their folds enriched with pockets of deep green native bush. Fresh blue skies fill the upper quarter of the canvas, adding light and openness to the scene. Evoking a distinctly Aotearoa sense of place, Backyard captures the strength and presence of one of New Zealand’s most iconic birds. This original painting is part of Little River Gallery's exhibition Birds of a Feather.Artwork Dimensions | Width x Height Framed Canvas - 785mm x 785mm Framed Original PaintingHand-painted and signed by Kirsty Nixon, this work is created using high-quality, pigment-based acrylics on stretched cotton canvas.
