Oil on canvas, stretched and ready to hang.

Signed on the front.

It's Spring and a new purple-pea wildflower rambles through the forest bringing a blush of life and colour to the muted remnants of winter.

I find such comely warmth in this kind of brittle Australian woodland with its unkempt beauty and humility. I'm endlessly intrigued how stark sunlight creates a palette of neutral earth tones with flashes of colour when the wildflowers and parrots move through.

This piece is created with multiple layers of wash and rag-work to build layers and texture, finished with brushwork in oil paint.

Edges are painted with Dulux Sea Radish (grey-green) for a finished look and extra protection if hung unframed.
