Mother and baby Dugong – 2023
Acrylic on Canvas – 40 x 40 cm (pre-stretched)
Mother Dugongs are very protective of their young. Sometimes when they are in the shallows and the tide starts to go out, putting the mother at risk of stranding, she needs to move very quickly to get back into the deep water.
If the baby is very young and too slow, she will bury it in a certain place to hide it from predators and then come back to collect it when the tide comes in again.
