Monitoring the Future
Oil Painting of one of the Lace Monitor goannas that live around my house,the tree had the beginning of a strangler fig which eventually will complely stangle the gum tree host,I won’t be around then I am sure ,as it will probably be another 50 -100 years.
Art from the work place,because this gumtree and goanna is right outside my studio where I work
Painting is on canvas stretched and framed in box style 120 cm x 85

Virginia McGowan replied
thanks so much James the gum and the Monitor both live in the yard although hard to tell if it’s the same lizard I see as several pass through, the strangler is growing well,watched it from just a tiny bit of green.the roots have reached the groung now and starting to creep around the trunk. [I guess must be around 3 years to get where it is ]

Virginia McGowan replied
hi Tracy, thanks very much for the comments and favs…. we have a few live here, I try and take their pics all the time but they move so fast or hide behind bushes so not easy , the birds kick up a racket when they are around so easy to find them.they even climb onto the roof highset house too so almost 3 stories.at the peak.
Tracey Mac
OMG!! That’s amazing! I was taking photos of one that I stumbled across a while back and was thinking the whole time how huge they are while remembering not to stand still for too long, didn’t want him to think I was a tree lol!! Sounds like they’re not afraid of heights!! ;)
Virginia McGowan replied
oh I get worried too! I’ll look for a pic I have of one on the roof, and put a pic here on the side. It may take a while not sure if it’s on the computer or on a cd saved.
Virginia McGowan replied
well looked through all my dozens of CD saves in lizards and snakes can’t find the CD an not on the computer. hope I haven’t lost them I changed pc last November and things got muddled. I need them as well as someothers so … will get back again one day. did find a few pics I didn’t know I had !WOW SURPRIZE catch up sometime….
