Queenscliff Banksia With Succulent & Yellow Florals

Occasionally I come across a flower or a plant and simply need to paint it. This piece is inspired by banksia flowers I pilfered from a playground in Queenscliff (Victoria). The bush had the most stunning leaves and as all lovers of the Banksia genus know, all stages of the flowering cycle are incredible. Here the Banksia is keeping company with some native blooms from my garden and a Haworthia succulent.

This piece is created using both watercolours and watercolour pencils.

Framed in a beautiful Australian blackwood frame with a double float mount (archival) as pictured in the mock ups.

**This series would suit an upmarket office space as a set or individually, or anywhere an extra special piece is warranted.

Dominika is an artist living in the Yarra Valley. Drawing inspiration from her garden and the beautiful surrounds, she has a particular passion for representing house plants, flowers and treasures from her various collections. 'I find inspiration everywhere and am influenced by nature, my garden, and the changing seasons. I find there is beauty in every stage of the life cycle, whether it be the closed bud of a flower, a deteriorated sea shell or an autumn leaf. My main challenge being that time is limited and of all my ideas, only some will find their way to paper! My art practice is my meditation, my connection to the earth, to my family, and at times it is all encompassing in the most beautiful of ways'.
