Artwork Description

Sometimes it is best to lean back, and enjoy something for what it truly is.
In this artwork, featuring only purely Australian Flora and Fauna, I strived to depict the beauty of our world, in their simplest forms, as you see them.
Using small, calculated strokes in the foreground we see the beautiful Australian Banksias - large and rich; practically popping out toward the viewer. The background juxtaposes it with more freedom to the strokes, as we can see - if we look closely - a numbat, magpies, mangoes and paper daisies, all adding to the painting. Together. In harmony.

The colours are warm and happy to fit into any interior and lighten it up with its warmth and joy.

Acrylic on canvas, painted edges, varnished, ready to hang, signed on the front and with a certificate of authenticity.
