With ears perked and whiskers twitching, the brushtail possum holds a steady gaze, its intense eyes revealing a sharp awareness of its surroundings. Its body is still, but its posture suggests that at any moment, it could spring into action, whether for a daring escape or to explore its next nocturnal adventure. The detailed texture of its fur contrasts against the blurred backdrop, emphasizing its presence in the wild. Ink and watercolour on Saunders Waterford 300gsm smooth cotton paper.
