Pademelon playground

Inspired by the little pademelon that lives in the bushes in my front yard, I wanted to capture the curiosity and cuteness of my garden loving friend. I used lots of texture and layers to add depth and character to the painting, whilst keeping the main focal point on the pademelon peeking out from the grass.
