Artwork Description

Portrait of a rather large gum tree that resides along the bank of one of the the many small creeks that weave throughout outer eastern Melbourne. At a distance I want the artwork to appear somewhat realistic while on close inspection there's brush strokes, pencil marks and small mistakes which give the painting character and prevent it from becoming too cold and analytical.

Vertical section of an Australian native gum tree trunk. Younger layer of bark are coloured peach and light blue in a mottled pattern, with older, rougher bark sections peeling away.

(There is a small dent on the right hand edge of the canvas, see photos. It is hard to notice but worth mentioning).Against a white background, a vertical tree trunk lies flattened on the picture plane. Linear bark patterns are interrupted by a central wound, where an branch may have broken off long ago. The colour of the tree is mostly grey, with hints of brown and tan colour in the bark sections.A tree trunk dominates the canvas against a white background, there are colours of bark in yellow, orange and maroon with crusty black bark in various areas.Eucalyptus tree trunk seen flattened across the canvas, almost to the edges of the canvas. The grey, mottled bark has peeled off in two vertical strips to reveal a smooth soft yellow bark underneath.
