As part of this great creation journey, the Rainbow Serpent created the platypus first — a unique creature unlike any other. Soon after, the fish were created so the waterways could flourish and the breeding cycle of life and evolution could begin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut the young platypus did not yet understand balance, respect, or boundaries. In his hunger and curiosity, he began eating the fish before life in the waterhole had the chance to grow as it was intended. This saddened and angered the Rainbow Serpent, who rose beneath the waters and spoke to the platypus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“This is not your waterhole. You must leave this place and find your own peaceful home. Creation was not meant to happen this way, and now I must begin again.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe platypus was given a chance to journey on and learn from his actions. Through this lesson, he came to understand boundaries, independence, and how to live as his own unique spirit within Country. From that moment on, the platypus travelled quietly through the rivers and creeks, carrying the wisdom of respect and balance with him.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeanwhile, the Rainbow Serpent continued the great mission of creation, bringing new animals, waterways, and life into the land so Country could thrive in harmony.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis artwork represents learning, growth, individuality, and the importance of respecting the balance of nature and community.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEach commission is\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"auto\"\u003e100% hand-painted original artwork\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"auto\"\u003eUnstretched canvas, ready to be framed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"auto\"\u003eCreated specifically from the artists Indigenous wisdom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"auto\"\u003eSigned by the Indigenous artist Kieran Hearn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"auto\"\u003eIncludes a Certificate of Authenticity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"auto\"\u003eIncludes a printed story explaining the artwork's meaning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"auto\"\u003ePainted using professional-quality materials.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"auto\"\u003eSealed with high grade varnish to protect, prolong and enhance the colours. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"auto\"\u003eOne-of-a kind original piece of Indigenous art, only one original canvas to be sold.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"auto\"\u003eFrame not included in the purchase, unless arranged prior to sale. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApproximate Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 82 cm (W) × 49 cm (H)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrientation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Landscape\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMedium:\u003c\/strong\u003e Original hand-painted artwork on unstretched fabric\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePresentation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Supplied unstretched and carefully rolled for delivery\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFraming Note:\u003c\/strong\u003e The artwork has been created with additional painted border space, allowing a professional framer flexibility when stretching, mounting or framing the piece.
