 Title: "At Home Among The Gum Trees" (Kookaburra) ARTIST'S STATEMENT The cheeky kookaburra with its beak slightly open, teases the viewers anticipation of the next laugh about to erupt. Surrounded by the olives and blue-greens of the Aussie bush he sits perched in the classic "Old Gum Tree", beautifully framed on both sides with gum leaves and blossom. Australian backyards are hosts to many amazing native and introduced bird species. I am lucky enough to have a few natives that frequent my yard and neighbourhood. This image is from a series of paintings which explores species observed at or near my home in the Hunter Valley on the eastern coast of Australia. A kookaburras is a forest kingfisher famous for killing snakes. It is also known as The Laughing Jackass. Often I hear and see kookaburras on the overhead power lines or resting in the tall trees. They are best known for their unmistakable loud call which is like hysterical human laughter. It is the highlight of my day to hear them, their laughter sounds guaranteed to bring a smile to my face as my eyes scan the neighbouring trees to capture a fleeting glance at them. Since ancient times birds have been regarded as mediators between heaven and earth because of their associations with the sky. They are seen as embodiments of immaterial things, particularly the soul. Wings are often associated with heavenly beings the most obvious is angels. Angels boldly laugh as immortal souls fly. Flapping wings swoop ending the serpents reign
