Millie's snack bar, 2018
Acrylic on linen
100 x 120 cm
From the gallery description:
"This pretty tabby looks benign but her imprint - paw print perhaps? - on the environment is manifest in the mixed flock of Tasmanian birds that can fall prey to her innate talents as a natural born predator."
One thing is clear in Michael McWilliams' depictions, all animals are painted with the same care and the imported species are not treated with any direct antagonism. It is up to us to ask the relevant questions and manage how they relate to the environment.
NOTE: You really do need to enlarge these photographs to see the intricate detail of Michael McWilliams' paintings. Sadly, I don't expect most of the people who merely look or fave and move on to do this, let alone read the descriptions which I have thoroughly researched. But if people did they might in fact increase their knowledge of the world. Some things are more important than flitting around Flickr like a butterfly to flowers.
