After the Storm - Mountain Ash and Stripes #2

Original oil painting features a Vintage green Burgess Ware jug with the top of a Mountain Ash leaves found on the ground after the major storm here in Olinda.

An ode to the magnificent mountain ash which fell during the storm. These fresh green leaves from the very top of these gigantic trees can not normally be seen and yet here they were splayed on the ground, a cloak across a puddle that should have never been there.

70's Vintage striped fabric swirls around the jug beneath.
