Someone's trash is someone else's treasure, as the saying goes. Some swamp hens reckon this abandoned car is an ideal spot to hang out (or to build a nest).

Painted in November last year, for an art contest on the theme of wetland management (I wasn't shortlisted).

Acrylic, 40 x 57.5 cm.

I second Peachfuzz in that you've done a wonderful job making this ordinarily sad scene (trash in a wetland) into a hopeful scene. Beautiful painting!

Thank you very much. You exactly expressed what I was trying to portray- although some species are highly vulnerable to human impacts, others can be more resilient.

Actually I was surprised at how little time it took. Time flies when you're having fun, perhaps? Thanks for the comment!
