Ready to Laugh

$280.00

This joyful, mixed-media kookaburra is perched confidently on a branch, surrounded by a dreamy wash of layered leaves, turquoise tones and painterly textures. The artwork blends expressive brushstrokes, subtle collage layers and fine detail, celebrating the playful character of one of Australia’s most iconic birds.

The kookaburra’s feather markings are re-imagined with artistic whimsy — bold dots, earthy tones and hints of patterning — while the background creates a soft sense of movement, like dappled sunlight through gum leaves. It’s a work that captures both the stillness and the spirit of the bush, inviting warmth, nostalgia and a touch of Aussie humour into the home.

A colourful acrylic and collage painting of a kookaburra sitting on a branch, surrounded by layered gum leaves in turquoise, green and earth tones.

Acrylic paint and collage on stretched canvas, 30.5cm (W) x 30.5cm (H) x 4cm (D).
Sides are painted, sealed with a protective varnish, and ready to hang.
