Scarlet Lady by Lyn Steele

Features

ARTIST NOTES: This painting is a striking portrait of a helmeted guineafowl, created in bold black, white, and red. This piece captures both elegance and humour, blending the bird’s natural beauty with a touch of personality and flair. Her long, black eyelashes add a distinctly feminine charm, while her piercing gaze depicts a strong, confident personality. Painted in acrylic, her speckled body emerges through expressive splashes of white paint and the dramatic contrast of colours enhances her regal presence. Every time I look at this painting I can’t help but smile—there’s just something about her direct gaze and confident pose that feels both endearing and a little mischievous. I hope this painting brings that same sense of joy and amusement to those who view her, reminding us that nature is not only beautiful but also full of personality and charm.

ARTIST BIO

I'm an avid photographer and self-taught artist, inspired by a deep love of nature. My work focuses predominantly on Australian wildlife and birds, capturing their unique personalities while celebrating their beauty, character, and spirit.
My art practice begins with photography, which forms the foundation of every painting. Working exclusively from my own photographic references ensures originality and allows each piece to carry personal memories and emotional depth. I paint primarily in oils and acrylics on stretched canvas, generally preferring to work on larger-scale pieces.
More recently, I’ve found a passion for flow art, where paint moves freely across the canvas using the Dutch pour technique. Through flowing colour and abstract form, each work captures the energy of natural landscapes and seascapes, resulting in a one-of-a-kind original piece.
I have exhibited and sold my work over many years and been very fortunate to receive various art and photography awards at local and national levels. I now aim to dedicate a greater portion of my life to the creative process…. life is simply too short not to follow your passions! With so many creative ideas still to explore, I often wish there were more hours in the day to immerse myself in the artistic chaos of my studio.
