Mount Kosciuszko Blue

Mount Kosciuszko National Park in New South Wales, Australia is an ever changing colour inspiration and with every season I find more to fall in love with. This particular piece shows the wintery magic with it's heightened colour palette

The colours used are a vibrant Egyptian blue, deep Prussian blue, highlights of metallic navy, off white,grey and a soft pearlised gold. The mountain range shimmers with silver leaf.
In a darker room, the silver will appear more gunmetal .

This artwork is textured and tactile with collage and metallic silver leaf

Commissions in any size are welcome
