Canberra Meadow with Monarch Butterflies and Boxing Kangaroos is a large original acrylic painting inspired by the surprising beauty of nature found right on the edge of everyday suburban life in Canberra.
This is not a distant wilderness scene. It is the kind of landscape that can happen almost behind the house — open grass, rolling green paddocks, distant blue hills, wildflowers, butterflies, and kangaroos moving through the meadow as part of daily life in the ACT.
The foreground is filled with tall grasses, yellow wildflowers, purple blooms and monarch butterflies drifting through the warm light. Beyond the flowers, the view opens into a wide Canberra landscape of green fields, dark tree lines and layered hills under a dramatic turquoise and golden sky.
Hidden within the meadow are two kangaroos boxing, partly obscured behind the wildflowers. This small narrative detail gives the painting its distinct Canberra character: a moment of wildness unfolding quietly in the middle of suburban life.
Painted in a contemporary impressionist style, this artwork celebrates the colour, movement and unexpected magic of Canberra’s backyard landscapes. It would suit a living room, entrance, bedroom, office or any space where the collector wants a joyful statement piece connected to local place, nature and Australian wildlife.
This is an original one-of-a-kind artwork, painted with professional acrylic paint on gallery-wrapped canvas. Ready to hang, signed by the artist, and supplied with a Certificate of Authenticity.
