Kangaroo

This painting is artwork one in a set of three. It expresses the importance and beauty of our native Australian animals. The name of this piece is “Kangaroo”. The central focus of this painting is the footprint of a kangaroo, this surrounded by paint splatter effect and patters made using the colours of a kangaroo representing the sun and stars. Your colours are in the sky, from sunrise to sunset. We see them in the stars as a subtle reminder… to keep the fire burning… to keep culture strong.
