Artwork Description

Eucalyptus is a sign of abundance and when in bloom is spectacular and one of my favourite things to paint.

This painting depicts the Silver Princess magnified and stylized. The flowers and leaves are pendulous and their weight pulls the branches down to create a weeping tree.

The colours used are inspired by the beautiful pinks and pale purplish-greys of the flower. The leaves are filled with an array of greens.

Watercolour washes fill the spaces created by the ink line work and makes the piece look like stained glass. The ink line work picks out each element of the image with an overlay of organic expressive lines to hold it all together.

Painted with artists quality materials on 650gsm watercolour paper.

Nicola is a Perth based multi-award winning artist and owner of The Artists Nook a collaborative artists team providing public and community art projects throughout WA. She has a BA Honours in Fine Art Printmaking from Gray’s School of Art in Scotland.

Her art practice encompasses printmaking and painting with a focus on linocut and watercolour. Nature is a constant throughout her work with native flowers and birds as subjects and motifs.

Art Nouveau and stained glass work have been an enduring inspiration and are echoed throughout her pieces. Juxtaposing flat ink against textural and tonal watercolour washes create a tactility in her still life and botanical pieces.
