Up and Away by

Acrylic on Canvas. 25 × 60 cm.
The design of this one ate my brain for a few weeks, because to me there is a foreground and background focus which may confuse the eye, but I didn’t want to forego the details of either.
This is my first deliberately Australian landscape and I have used Norfolk Pines and cockatoos. There’s a boy climbing in the tree.
