Morning Chuckle

About the Painting

Morning Chuckle captures the gentle charm of a young kookaburra perched on a branch, wrapped in soft early-morning light.
I painted him with expressive, colourful strokes to highlight his fluffy feathers, playful energy, and the joyful character these iconic Australian birds are known for.

Backstory

Kookaburras are famous for their laughter-like calls at dawn, waking up the bush with their cheerful voices.
This painting was inspired by that magical moment when a young kookaburra fluffs up, looks around with bright curiosity, and seems ready to join the morning chorus.
