Aussie Icon

$580

I painted this artwork of the weird but amazing platypus. I was told as a child about this egg laying, duck billed, beaver tailed, otter footed, venomous mammal. How the people hunted it for its fur, not knowing how much of an icon it would become to us. Now an animal emblem of the state of New South Wales, on the 20 cent coin, and today a protected species.

100% of the artwork price goes directly to the artist.

More information

What is artwork stretching?
Your stretched and ready to hang painting will come complete with D-rings, hanging wire, and a small artwork label affixed to the back.

Why can’t I select unstretched canvas?
Some of our paintings are painted close to the edge of the canvas, and don’t have a border wide enough for standard stretching. These artworks will be ‘strip-lined’ with a quality cotton edging. As this is a boutique process, these paintings must be stretched by The Torch and are not available to be shipped as unstretched artworks.

Some paintings may also be unavailable unstretched because they have already been stretched for use in exhibitions.

How much will the artist receive?
100% of the artwork price, set before the stretching and delivery costs are added, is paid directly to the artist.
