'Naptime' Koala Fine Art Print

When sleep is LIFE and you’re so dang cute doing it!

There was something so peaceful about painting this sleepy little koala nestled into the crook of a gumtree branch. I loved getting lost in the soft curves of its fluffy ears and the way its body melted into the tree like it was part of the landscape itself. The gentle watercolour washes gave me space to explore calm tones of warm greys, dusty greens and muted pinks, while the subtle use of ink brought just the right amount of texture to echo the quiet crunch of eucalyptus leaves.

I’ve always been a little obsessed with koalas and their dreamy, slow-motion way of life and this piece was my way of honouring that quiet kind of magic they bring to the bush.
