Wow I really love this. I have taught painting to primary school children and one of the projects was painting emus without using brushes.

Your emus are vibrant, lively and whimsical. Love the composition and the use of colour. Really love the use of a fence. Very brave and it works really well.

thanks sooz this was fun! I sometimes thing though the surface of the canvas or whatever makes a difference to how somethings end up successful more than other ones. sound fun too, teaching art to primary kids.[ ps the Winton Outback Art Prize show rejected this when I submitted it a couple of years ago, they ask to send photos.for submission each year ]
