Years ago while visiting Cairns, a worthwhile attraction to see is the 'Tjapukai Aboriginal Dance Theatre'. Part of the presentation includes the traditional 'Brolga','Cassowary' and the 'Kangaroo' dances. Afterward, I got one of the dancers to model for me with the idea of doing a series of art pieces showing the dancer along side the animal he is mimicking. The results were these simple charcoal sketches combining the human form and my usual wildlife subject matter. I have often thought about developing this idea into full colour paintings..... so I would be interested to hear from you out there as to whether this would be something you would like to see? Feel free to comment.
