This huge study of native flora is set against a marbled background of creamy beige and off white. Using a deep brown black glossy acrylic and black charcoal to sketch the wild grass and indigenous flowers that come to life with highlights of metallic gold. The metallic gold leaf highlights the entire artwork including little banksia pods at the base of the plants.
