KOALA’S MEETING PLACE (Sugar Gum)

Oil on Canvas, 183 x 122 cm

In Angas Gardens in Adelaide there is a stately old sugar gum. The patterns in the bark are striking and seem to hint at beautiful and occasionally strange animal, bird, fish and even human forms – some native to Australia, some from far away. At the base of this portrait of the sugar gum, a koala happily acknowledges all the creatures in the bark and welcomes them into his meeting place.
