Australia arising
Roseanne Steele
810mm x 1060mm /
Acrylic on canvas
This painting is a patriotic picture sending a message that we as Australians will arise despite what confronts us.
I have painted the Australian sea eagle, one of the two eagle species that we have in Australia. Eagles notoriously represent a bird that rises to great heights with amazing eagle vision. Like the mythical bird Phoenix, as a nation we will overcome any challenge or adversaries and prosper again. This inspires hope for the future of our great nation, of which we are so proud.
