Busy Bodies

There's a quiet intimacy in watching two tīeke (saddlebacks) interact—a moment of connection captured with extraordinary precision. Phill Dunn's Busy Bodies is a masterful pencil drawing that showcases the artist's exceptional skill in rendering texture, form, and personality. Every feather, every detail of the barbed wire perch, every subtle gesture between these two native birds is rendered with breathtaking realism.

 The monochromatic palette allows you to appreciate the pure artistry of the drawing—the play of light and shadow, the delicate gradations of tone, the life and character in each bird. This is a piece for those who appreciate the quiet power of fine draftsmanship and the beauty of New Zealand's native wildlife. Perfect for a study, bedroom, or any space where you want art that invites closer viewing and rewards contemplation.
