Koalas

As the end of the year approaches I felt the need to finish a piece featuring an animal I love. Having lived in my home for over 40 years and before the housing developments encroached on our area, we regularly encountered koalas in the wild. Such is not the case any longer. Sadly our koala population is depleted and in grave danger as their habitat is being destroyed on a monumental scale.
I love to draw them. My piece "Safe with Mum" is now finished and I love this sweet duo......the process.....
And the finished piece......
Of course there always  seems to be a new project waiting for me. I have just begun a new piece of a gorgeous Azure Kingfisher. Captured on the Yellow Water Billabong Kakadu. Prelim drawing done and first layers of pencil going down....can you see him there?
Ahhh! Love what I do.....
As the saying goes...."No tree.....No me!"
Namaste and Blessings Michelle xxx

    Beautiful work Michelle...so lifelike! And such a sad thing about their habitat disappearing. Looking forward to seeing your Kingfisher come to life.
