I love the quirky expressions that some animals can come up with. This guy was sitting on my clothesline one day so I just had to draw him. The original is coloured pencil and ink on board. I carved the background pattern out of lino myself, but credit must be given to Rhonna Farrer for the use of her stamps in the foreground.

Laughing Kookaburra. These birds, members of the Kingfisher family, are native to Australia. They get their name “Laughing” Kookaburra, because of their raucus cackling call! The blue sky is real – it was a lovely sunny day (we had one of those once in Merrie Olde England! I think it was in 2006!)

Kookaburra at Melbourne Zoo The “Laughing Kookaburra” is known by its name for its “laugh” which it uses to greet its mate after periods of absences. It can be heard at any time of day but most frequently shortly after dawn and especially when the colour drains from the forest after sunset. One bird starts with a low, hiccupping chuckle, then throws its head back in raucous laughter: often several others join in. If a rival tribe is within earshot and replies, the whole family soon gathers to fill the bush with ringing laughter. Hearing kookaburras in full voice is one of the more extraordinary experiences of the Australian bush, something even locals cannot ignore; some visitors, unless forewarned, may find their call startling. / ~ Wikipedia

/ / Original pencil drawing on Aquarelle Arches paper 56×76cm / Drawing 15 hours/painting 12 hours = 27 hours total A digitally painted hand drawn artwork… the inspiration for this is “Meeting Places”... As a child one of the most frequent things we did together as a family was to attend church on Sundays, I went to a Catholic School and the church I remember best was St Agnes’ at Port Macquarie… the nuns would come over for morning tea sometimes, and the priests would come for dinner occasionally…they were the days of fun parish picnics and life that wasn’t so hurried..when we took time to socialise, meeting and enjoying one another’s company. Mum was/is a great cook and host…and although this picture isn’t authentic as a portrait of her and myself…it’s representative. It’s also representative of new life and hope for the future, as the mother figure is with child….. and the child herself nurtures the wildlife…perhaps she is taking them to church for a blessing… perhaps the joey has lost his mother and needs nursing til he can fend for himself. The kookaburra is all seeing and all knowing….. the wise overseer of the bush… in this case, he stands in as the owl figure.

FEATURED OCT 2009 EARTHKEEPERS Blue-winged Kookaburra: Taken at a zoo, this happy girl delighted us with her disposition. The males are blue-tailed, and are hence easily distinguished from females with the rufousstriped tail shown here.The Kookaburra is a keen and spirited bird, of the kingfisher family. / / (from The Wik:)There are four known species of Kookaburras: / Rufous-bellied Kookaburra (Dacelo gaudichaud). / Spangled Kookaburra (Dacelo tyro). / Blue-winged Kookaburra (Dacelo leachii). / Laughing Kookaburra (Dacelo novaeguineae). / The Blue-winged Kookaburra has a distribution from southern New Guinea and the moister parts of northern Australia, to southern Queensland across the Top End, and as far down the Western Australian coast as the Shark Bay area. The scientific name commemorates the British zoologist William Elford Leach. Widespread and common throughout its large range, the Blue-winged Kookaburra is evaluated as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. / Kookaburras are carnivorous. They will eat lizards, snakes, insects, mice, other small birds, and raw meat. The most social birds will accept handouts from humans and will take raw or cooked meat (even if at high temperature) from on or near open-air barbecues left unattended. It is generally not advised to feed the birds too regularly as meat alone does not include calcium and other nutrients essential to the bird. Remainders of mince on the bird’s beak can fester and cause problems for the bird. / They are territorial, and often live with the partly grown chicks of the previous season. They often sing as a chorus to mark their territory. / In the wild, kookaburras are known to eat babies of other birds and snakes, and insects and small reptiles and even other small birds, such as finches if they are lucky enough to catch them. In zoos, they are usually fed food for birds of prey, and dead baby chicks. Nikon D70s / Nikon 70-300mm / speed 1/125th / f /4.8 / PS and Photomatix to adjust contrast.
