New Zealand and Australia Talent Show 49

On a warmly lit rustic stage, a wombat grips the microphone with both paws, eyes closed as it sings a soulful, heartfelt ballad. Its round face is filled with emotion, each note carrying a weight that silences the crowd. In the foreground, a panel of sheep judges watches intently — one jotting notes, another leaning forward with quiet admiration, while the rest of the audience looks on in hushed awe. Painterly detail captures both the tenderness of the performance and the humor of the unlikely star, making this act a memorable highlight of the Trans-Tasman rivalry. This artwork is available as a matte print.
