Wombat and Waratah, and Lawyervine

 

Underpainted waratah and a wombat emerging from his burrow I painted in to the billabong today for Pastor Brian - the resolute Wombat -  as well as some lawyervine to tangle things up a bit (Smilax Australis - thanks to Brad Fromant and Tom for the ID). My favourite wait-a-while from the mid north coast

Meanwhile Grace has been outlining flowers and plants

A deaf adder I drew before I starting one in, their hesds are really well camouflaged it's hard to make out from an image on a laptop screen

 

Smilax the lawyervine - Smilax Australis. Thanks to Bradley Fromant, and Tom for their quick and spot on species identification from my vague description. I'll paint some near the tree with the lawyervine

There are still a lot of creatures to get in there, someome reminded us today that there's no fish in the water, so I might put in a cod and some eels. There's also no invertebrates, so a yabby or 2 as well

 

Grace at work on the Australiana scene around the billabong we have been painting along with Xantharea at Newtown Mission. 

Over the past week we've added a lot of plants and animals and the scene hasbegun to really shape. Below are a few details. There are more photos of work in progress here and here
