Lost Worlds - kunanyi and Tasmanian Tigers

The last known Tasmanian tiger (Thylacine) died in the Hobart Zoo, Tasmania, on September 7, 1936. They were once here and now their presence is intangible but a constant presence nevertheless. kunanyi/Mount Wellington is a constant living presence in Hobart, Tasmania. It is a wild place and on the mountain there is a track named the Lost World Track. I let these two ideas form the basis for this emotive painting.
