Twitter I | Original Painting tuiTwitter I is a captivating original painting by Kirsty Nixon, celebrating the spirited charm of the Pwakawaka (Fantail), one of Aotearoas most beloved native birds. Perched amongst the glossy green leaves of Kawakawa in the lower right foreground, the flighty Pwakawaka appears alert and inquisitive, its distinctive fan shaped tail bringing movement and character to the scene. Lush foliage fills the composition, while glimpses of soft powder blue sky
