Tassie rain forrest by

Oh tut! gave up on this one, but asked son to put it on as it was meant to have a message. He kindly did whatever he thought. Its oils on canvas. The little critters are Tassie devils, and still healthy in parts of the Tarkine temperate rainforest.

    I have been to Tassie a few times….never saw these rascals…cos they are quite shy I believe…..or I maybe I was just not on their menu! :O))

  • Thanks Arcadia —I havent actually seen them in the wild either, tho I’ve seen the devastation the wood chipping business does.

  • Thanks so much Walt, yes went hiking and hitchhiking, fruitpicking around Tassy when young. It was so beautiful then before the loggers ran the show

    Great imagination!

  • Thanks Maxal, but it didn’t turn out as intended. meant to be a message against wood chipping, but of course the little devils weren’t happy around logging
