The Pumpkin Den

About the Painting

The Pumpkin Den captures a playful moment of two baby wombats exploring the world from the cozy safety of a pumpkin-shaped hideout.
I painted them with warm, expressive brushstrokes to show the contrast between their soft, velvety fur and the bright, cheerful orange of the pumpkin surrounding them.

Backstory

Baby wombats love safe, enclosed spaces — especially when they are being raised in care.
This painting was inspired by their curiosity, their clumsy bravery, and the way they peek out of their little dens as if deciding whether the world is ready for them.
Their tiny paws and bright eyes bring this moment to life.
