ARTWORK DESCRIPTION:

Amrita Mohanty’s watercolour painting is of a beautiful tangerine Leopard Gecko. Amrita was drawn to the deep shadows and curving arch of the gecko’s body, and said she instantly thought of how these small creatures survive in extreme climates. With the dark shadows Amrita wanted to capture the sun beating down on it’s small body, effortlessly adapted to survive the baking hot desert sands.
