Twilight

Acrylic on canvas
600 x 900mm

Twilight is a contemplative original from Kirsty Nixon’s Flora & Fauna collection, capturing the quiet presence of a solitary Tūī at dusk. Perched on a dried harakeke stem, the bird is framed by dense layers of native bush – nīkau fronds and kawakawa leaves – bathed in rich, verdant greens.

From the top left of the canvas, soft twilight sky filters through the foliage, casting a gentle glow that balances depth with light. Lush, grounded, and atmospheric, Twilight evokes a moment of stillness in the heart of Aotearoa’s native landscape.
