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.

About Tania

I'm an artist, specifically a wildlife artist. And how exactly does one know she is an artist, specifically a wildlife artist? Well, only artists get excited about new art supplies, "Mmm, unmarked claybord..." or discovering a new satin sheen spray varnish *sigh* And only a wildlife artist gets distracted during a very serious conversation with her exceptionally supportive spouse by a fledgling sparrow taking it's first shaky flight across the yard.
