Ever Watchful Kookaburra

Perched high in the branches of a towering eucalyptus tree, the kookaburra surveys its surroundings with a sharp, watchful eye. Its feathers are a blend of soft browns, blues and creams, contrasting beautifully against the silver-grey bark and vibrant green leaves of the tree. The sun filters through the eucalyptus leaves, casting dappled light on its striking features, as the bird remains perfectly still, a guardian of the treetops ever watchful for his next meal. I created this beautiful bird with my usual favoured medium of professional artists coloured pencil on Grafix drafting film. Both the medium and the surface are designed to last a lifetime and the bold, vibrant colours will stay just as vivid in 50+ years as they are today if framed behind UV glass or perspex out of direct sunlight.  A signed Certificate of Authenticity is included with the artwork.
