Koala, work in progress. Scratchboard, 14 x 11 in. Copyright 2008, Tania Nault.
As you can see, I decided to add another branch to balance the composition and give my poor Koala a place to sit. Did you know that Koalas have extra plush fur on their bums to cushion them because they spend almost 20 hours per day sleeping wedged into the crooks of tree branches! Isn’t evolution amazing? I’ve also added some leaves to the Eucalyptus tree as well, and may add a couple other sprigs over the weekend.
