As the artist behind this piece, I am delighted to share the story of this pastel painting, created on authentic paper bark. The natural texture and earthy tones of the paper bark provide a perfect backdrop, adding an organic depth to the scene.
In this work, I aimed to capture the delicate moment of a possum peeking out from behind the bark. The possum’s large, expressive eyes are the focal point, filled with curiosity and innocence. I paid close attention to the fine details of its delicate paws gripping the intricately textured bark, striving to convey a lifelike presence. The soft, warm tones of the possum's fur contrast beautifully with the rugged, earthy hues of the bark, creating a harmonious balance.
Using paper bark as the canvas allowed me to blend the possum seamlessly into its natural environment, emphasizing the connection between the animal and its habitat. The interplay of light and shadow adds depth and realism, inviting viewers to step into this hidden moment of the wild. Through this piece, I hope to share my deep appreciation for nature's small wonders and the beauty of unnoticed moments.
Presented in a beautiful rustic frame this piece measures 45cm high by 51 cm wide.
