Floral Garden

Floral Garden is an original relief linocut print on paper in a limited edition of 7.

A beautiful scarlet banksia is surrounded by grevillea, gumnuts, silver dollar, leucodendrum, eucalyptus and banksia leaves.

The composition evolves from busy to quiet with empty space at the top as if growing from the bottom of the artwork.

Delicately carved with a balance of light and dark the lino is printed with oil based ink on 300gsm cotton rag paper.
