Native Cat - Open Edition Prints
"Native Cat" celebrates the eastern quoll, a near-threatened species once known as the native cat by early settlers. This colour pencil drawing captures the quoll in a moment of serene contemplation, sitting gracefully on a log, free from any background distractions to focus entirely on its unique beauty.
In this piece, the eastern quoll’s soft fur and distinctive spots are rendered with delicate strokes, highlighting the nuances of its appearance. Its expressive eyes, full of curiosity and intelligence, draw the viewer in, creating an intimate connection with this remarkable creature. The simplicity of the composition – the quoll on its log perch – emphasizes its natural elegance and the quiet dignity of its existence.
"Native Cat" aims to spotlight the eastern quoll’s role in Australia’s ecological tapestry and the urgent need for its conservation. By portraying the quoll in a clean, focused setting, the drawing underscores the importance of preserving the purity of their natural habitats. The color pencil medium allows for intricate detailing, bringing out the textures and shades that define the quoll’s distinct character.
This artwork invites viewers to appreciate the understated beauty of the eastern quoll and to reflect on the necessity of conserving our wildlife. "Native Cat" is a testament to the resilience and vulnerability of our native species, encouraging a deeper understanding and commitment to their protection.
