Ready For Takeoff (2026) Original Acrylic Painting by Adam Bogusz

There is a moment on the runway of something big when everything in you is poised and counting down. The waiting is almost unbearable, and then you go.
Ready for Takeoff is an original acrylic painting on board, 30 x 20cm, part of my ongoing series The Middle Country. It began the way these paintings always do, with a loose, accidental ground, half accident and half intention, made somewhere in the middle where the paint and I meet. Out of that ground came a vivid ridge of purple, gold and green, cockatoos gathered along its edge, and a single figure standing at the top, poised at the very edge of something about to begin.
I paint the things that mean something to me: my family, held in the figures and the birds who move through this glowing, imagined landscape. This one is about that unbearable, electric moment right before a leap, when there is nothing left to do but go.
Painted with artist quality acrylics on MDF board. Ready to hang. Certificate of authenticity included. Ships worldwide direct from my studio in Brisbane, Australia.
