Hillside Banksias

A landscape painting filled with red tailed black cockatoos, banksia trees and a female figure adorned in a dress with a second landscape.

The dress is made up of a landscape at sunset with a small cottage and flowering gums.

A flock of cockatoos fly across the sky with a male and female perched on one of the banskia trees.

The painting is made up of washes of light and heavy watercolours and finsihed with intricate ink linework resulting in a stained glass effect.
