2003 Wildlife Series

Each approx 600x300mm.

I rarely see green tree frogs anymore. When I was a child they were prolific but the changing environment, cane toads and other factors mean that they are not as widespread as they used to be. Also, people keep asking me to paint them :-) The frogmouth owl is also a favourite, and the turtle was living in our backyard when we first moved here. This was intended as a triptych, but people kept buying the frog!

The frog, which appeared on the cover of a domestic tourist guide is now in a private German collection, the owl was purchased by a gallery-owner in Scotland and the turtle remains in Australia.
