Ngirungiru / Miromiro 2021 by ellaquaint
200 mm x 200 mm
Indian ink, gesso and Golden Acrylics on wood panel
This little dude is part of my Fight or Flight series that I started a couple of months ago. I sought to see what personalities evolved as I painted the birds. They are all flying but it looks like they are all in fight mode too. Some of Ngirungiru's survival attributes have been exaggerated, bigger eyes, a sharper beak and claws. He has lots of delightful, super subtle details that are impossible to capture effectively on camera.
Ngirungiru / Miromiro provided yet another learning curve with my Te Reo. I assumed that he would have the same name as to those in the North Is and I really should have known better. In english they are known as tomtits. These little birds are nearly as impossible to photograph as their pals the piwakawaka are.
