Two little Corellas playing hide-and-seek in paradise — palm fronds, blue skies, and feathered mischief.
I loved painting this moment of tropical peekaboo, where curiosity meets camouflage and those blue-ringed eyes say, “You didn’t see us… right?”

Palm Peekaboo Australian Little Corellas In Hiding by Joan Stratton - paintingsbyjoan.com Two cheeky white Corellas play hide-and-seek behind a curtain of palm fronds in this tropical slice of paradise. Their soft plumage glows against a dreamy blue sky, while their curious blue-ringed eyes peek through the leaves like feathered spies. I loved capturing this moment of quiet mischief—nature’s own version of peekaboo—where light, shadow, and foliage frame the birds in a dance of camouflage and curiosity. The interplay of light and shadow through the palm fronds creates such a lush, immersive atmosphere. The way the cockatoos are partially veiled by the leaves adds a sense of quiet observation—like we’re catching a glimpse of something intimate and wild. Their blue eye rings pop beautifully against the soft whites and greens, and the gradient sky gives it a dreamy, tropical serenity. This piece blends expressive wildlife art with a touch of whimsy, perfect for bird lovers, tropical dreamers, and anyone who’s ever felt the joy of spotting something beautiful just out of view. The scientific name for Little Corella, Cacatua sanguinea, means 'Blood-stained Cockatoo' and refers to the dark pink markings between the eye & the bill. Also known as the short-billed corella, bare-eyed cockatoo, it is native to Australia & southern New Guinea. Available across fine art prints, canvases, apparel, & home décor.

These cheeky Little Corellas have claimed their spot on a coconut palm — gossiping, posing, and showing off their crests like they own the canopy. I loved capturing their quirks and camaraderie.

Five Australian Little Corellas Perch On Coconut Palm by Joan Stratton - paintingsbyjoan.com A cheeky gathering of Little Corellas takes center stage — five snowy-white parrots perched playfully along the fronds of a coconut palm, soaking up the tropical breeze. Their expressive poses and curious glances capture the charm of Far North Queensland’s birdlife, set against a backdrop of lush foliage and sunlit sky. This piece was hand-drawn painted digitally using my Ether Art technique — starting from a blank canvas and layering colour, texture, and personality with every stroke. The result is a vibrant, joyful celebration of nature’s character and rhythm. Whether you see them as gossiping locals or serene sentinels of the tropics, these Little Corellas bring a splash of life and humour to any space.
