Brolga
The Brolga is a magnificent species of crane which throws grass into the air as it leaps, the whole group joining in this joyful dance. The menacing shadow is self explanatory. This painting is by Marion Chapman from Australia.
Marion says that the Victorian government has just approved the 183 wind turbine wind-complex at Macarthur and one at Gellibrand, both within the Brolga's territory. She exhibited this painting at the Bird Observers Club with the Wildlife Artists earlier this year..
Another of her paintings is in the Gallery
