Description
The Happy Kangaroo by Amy E. Fraser. This is an expressive eastern grey kangaroo portrait in shades of black, white, gray and brown with a happy expression and joyful brown eyes complimented with a light turquoise blue background.
The eastern grey kangaroo (Macropus giganteus) is a marsupial found in the eastern third of Australia, with a population of several million. It is also known as the great grey kangaroo and the forester kangaroo. A big eastern grey male typically weighs around 146 pounds and stands almost 6 feet 7 inches tall. The scientific name, Macropus giganteus means gigantic large-foot. The eastern grey is easy to recognize: its soft grey coat is distinctive, and it is usually found in moister, more fertile areas than the red. Red kangaroos, though sometimes grey-blue in color, have a totally different face than eastern grey kangaroos. Red kangaroos have distinctive markings in black and white beside their muzzles and along the sides of their face. Eastern grey kangaroos do not have these markings, and their eyes seem large and wide open.
Amy E. Fraser’s Oil Pastel Animal Portrait series is an impassioned tribute to the beauty and magic of our beloved Animal Kingdom. Fun, gestural and energetic, these vibrant animals are painted in a stylized realism that is imbued with distinctive character and personality.
