Bringer of Rain features a male Red-Tailed Black Cockatoo (Calyptorhynchus banksii). A group of Red-Tailed Black Cockatoos is considered a Pandemonium. However its also a sign of good fortune as it is commonly believed that if you see a pandemonium that the rain will quickly follow. As this particular subspecies of Red-Tailed Black Cockatoo is native to some of the drier parts of regional Queensland, rain is always a blessing. There are 5 subspecies of Red-Tailed Black Cockatoos and the banksii is the  largest of the subspecies. Red-tailed Black Cockatoos are distinctive for their black feathers and red tails. Males have a prominent black crest made from the elongated feathers from the forehead and crown and have a bright red lateral band of feathers and a dark grey bill. Females are black with yellow-orange stripes in the tail and chest, and have yellow grading to red spots on the cheeks and wings. The bill is pale & horn-coloured. The underparts are barred with fine yellow over a black base. Artist quality Pastel Pencils and Soft Pastels on Clairefontaine Pastelmat glued to a 9x12" MDF painting panel.
