Lying on the ground with my camera, I was able to capture these emu chicks from their level, creating a more intimate view of two curious young birds. I found their innocent expressions and close relationship irresistibly endearing, and I wanted to paint that moment on a much larger scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline; background: #ffffff; color: #666666; font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, sans-serif;\"\u003eAt 102cm high by 76cm wide, the painting gives these chicks a strong presence while retaining the gentle, playful nature of the original encounter. I chose to paint the chicks in contrasting colour tones, with one emerging in cool blues and the other in warm yellows and earthy browns. This use of colour adds a contemporary element to the work while highlighting the individual personality of each chick.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lyn Steele","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54398398267503,"sku":null,"price":890.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/2078\/9615\/files\/69164a62e1b8ea140711df10_emuchicks-small_1790339428684.jpg?v=1790340934","url":"https:\/\/www.theonlineartgallery.com.au\/products\/emu-chicks","provider":"The Online Art Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
