Marking Time - Abstract Australian Landscape

Marking Time 2 is a large abstract landscape depicts banksia trees and a distant horizon in earth tones of off-white, cream, warm beige, a soft ochre and dark brown. It is highlighted with charcoal and metallic copper leaf ( similar to gold leaf as it is a ultra thin metal applied to the canvas)
The copper leaf changes in the light and will look a burnished copper in some lights and a bright "penny/1 cent" copper at other angles.
