Question 1

What is 'Colourful Kisses' by RDS?

Accepted Answer

'Colourful Kisses' is an original ink and watercolour painting of two Rainbow Lorikeets sitting shoulder to shoulder, heads tilted together in an affectionate pose. It is hand-painted in Dayboro, Queensland, using loose washes of lime green, cobalt blue and red against a splattered white ground, with fine ink detailing on the beaks, eyes and wings. The piece is one-of-a-kind, not a print or reproduction.

Question 2

Are Rainbow Lorikeets found in Dayboro, Queensland?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Rainbow Lorikeets (Trichoglossus moluccanus) are a common sight around Dayboro and throughout coastal Queensland, often seen preening together in gum trees at dusk. This everyday familiarity is what inspired the close, tender composition of 'Colourful Kisses'.

Question 3

What medium and technique is used in this artwork?

Accepted Answer

The painting combines ink and watercolour on paper. Fine ink lines define the birds' shapes while loose, wet-on-wet watercolour washes are left free to bleed and pool underneath, giving the still birds a sense of movement and life.

Question 4

Is 'Colourful Kisses' an original piece or a print?

Accepted Answer

It is an original, one-of-a-kind artwork. Every brushstroke and ink line is unrepeatable, which appeals to collectors seeking genuine texture and hand-painted Australian wildlife art rather than a mass-produced reproduction.

Question 5

Which collection does this Rainbow Lorikeet painting belong to?

Accepted Answer

'Colourful Kisses' sits within both the Australian Wildlife collection and the Colour Gallery, part of an ongoing series exploring native Australian birds through loose, expressive ink and watercolour work.
