Demi Flash - stretched

Sunlight seems to spark off the wild grass, as it gently moves in the breeze. The sun dips lower in the sky, casting deep shadows and highlighting the Banksia seed pods in the grass.
This artwork is part of the Banksia series which is indigenous tree found throughout Australia, both inland and coastal. This particular artwork is dynamic in composition which is amplified by the limited palette of cream, off white, light grey, light brown, beige, black and gold leaf.
The gold leaf shimmers and glows in the light, it can change depending on the angle and light source. the artwork is painted in oils, acrylic, charcoal and gold leaf.
