Kangaroo Paw

Kangaroo Paw is a watercolour painting on canvas. Light washes of transparent colour contrasts beautifully with the solid black ink marks.

The subject matter is made up of local flora and fauna the silver eye bird, kangaroo paw and flame pea in a playful compostion.

Sealed with a matt varnish it is ready to hang or can be framed with or without glass. Although varnished this piece is watercolour so it can only be lightly dusted with a dry lintfree cloth.

All materials are artists quality and archival.
