Pyrography or woodburning on Silky Oak. Approximately 8" by 10" or 20cms by 25cms.
“Australia’s well known dangerous spider.” “The female’s scarlet stripe is a clear warning not to touch. Redbacks are common but timid, and bite only if they are handled.” “A bite from a male can produce a mild reaction, but a bite from a female can be painful enough to cause hysteria.” "Males are much smaller than females and their maikings are more subdued. (Reader’s Digest Encyclopedia of Australian Wildlife p.563.)
This one is truly amazing, it’s so lifelike, and I like the “one leg raised” touch :) Beautiful work Robyn.
Thanks Alan, I copied this from a photograph…the redback was about to move forward. I love using shadows. I am delighted that you noticed the “one leg raised” and I appreciate your visit. Robyn :)

Stunning image of a beautiful, yet frightening creature!
This is a woodburning?
Thanks Pam for your comment; yes this is a woodburning, some people call it ‘poker art’. I did the red part with acrylic paint. Robyn.
