This painting is part of Anna’s whimsical 'games' series, where she indulges her love of painting small birds. In this piece, a Kingfisher (Kotare) calmly perches on a fragile, precarious card house, effortlessly navigating the instability of its roost. The bird’s serene demeanor contrasts sharply with the delicate, wobbly nature of its perch, offering a subtle reflection on the fragile balance of the world around us. Set against a fading light that casts dramatic shadows over a red hill base, the work adds to the sense of precariousness, as if nature itself is teetering between stability and chaos.
