This artwork comes with an external frame

An Australian Laughing Kookaburra. I have a lot of kookaburras where I live and have a family of kookaburras that visit by garden on a regular basis. This is a painting in acrylics of one of my own garden visitors. I love their feather patterns and have focused on showing those in my painting. Lenny the Laughing kookaburra is painted against a beautiful sky blue colour, coated with a satin varnish and framed in Tasmanian oak so it's ready to hang. The frame is also wide enough to stand on a shelf if that's what you prefer.

Laughing kookaburras are such an iconic Australian bird but it was not until I started observing them in my own garden that I developed a real love and appreciation for them.
They have an intense gaze when scanning the ground for prey or, as I have chosen to draw here, keeping guard of their territory. Fiercely territorial, they protect their chosen area in family groups. Each bird is different, particularly the individual patterns on their faces. Using coloured pencils on watercolour paper, I take my time to focus on the details of their unique feather markings.  Observing these individual characteristics allows me to tell them apart. Here I have drawn a brother and sister from the family group in my garden with the younger sister in front.

The drawing itself is done on A3 size paper and framed behind  mat board in a natural wooden frame matching the tones of the drawing.
