This kookaburra was sitting on top of the carved wooden sculpture in a park just off the Great Ocean Road in Australia . A beautiful sight to behold
Graham Anderson
As an Artist I am deeply connected to our environment and not only the wildlife that inhabits it but the patterns and forms that are interconnected with the animal or bird . Having lived all my life by the sea it is inevitable that it plays a frequent indivisible partner to the image subject .
My Great grandfather taught the wonderful Artist Sir Alfred Munnings as a young pupil in Norwich so I guess painting is in my blood . I set up and ran an art shop and then Gallery for 15 years before returning to quiet of my studio to concentrate on painting and picture framing. I am also a potter and have become fascinated in the alchemy of glazes and the incredible beauty that lies in natural materials. My Hairy Potter live throw down feeds have become quite popular !
