Mixed Media on canvas, stretched and ready to hang.

Signed certificate of authenticity.

The meticulous selection of colors in this piece reflects the natural hues found in Australian flora, particularly the Banksia, a genus endemic to the region. The Banksia's unique form and coloration are beautifully rendered through the artist's skillful application of mixed media, with Liquitex Soft Gel enhancing the textural qualities of the painting.
The Banksia in Cunnamulla, as depicted in the painting, holds personal significance for the artist, evoking memories of walks to school and everyday encounters with the natural world. It is this personal connection that breathes life into the artwork, transforming it from a mere representation of flora into a narrative of growth, resilience, and the passage of time. The painting stands as a bridge between the artist's personal experiences and the broader cultural heritage of Aboriginal art, inviting viewers to dive into a unique universe where every brushstroke tells a story. It is an invitation to not only appreciate the aesthetic qualities of the piece but also to reflect on the stories and traditions that it carries within its layers.
