The Elusive Emu (Sold)

6x6", oil on panel.

The emu is a strange bird. First off, they're HUGE (the second largest bird alive). They make weird sounds with their neck that sound like a loud, booming drum (it probably means "Leave me alone!").

This is one of my dad's emus (a few years ago, he and my stepmom started acquiring a flock of animals). The 2 emus hang out with a miniature deer. Not something you see every day!
