This is a very special Tryptich commission I have just completed for a Bluethumb art collector.
Lee made contact with me via Bluethumb after seeing my very much smaller 'Finders Keepers' series of gumleaf studies on small wooden panels from 2017 (10cm x 40cm). I communicated directly with Lee via the inbox feature and discovered the large gumleaf artworks in mind were to fill a particular void in the light, airy staircase area of a recently renovated home - which happens to have a beautiful outlook towards gumtrees! Lee sent me some photos of the area and I was quickly able to envisage the earthy, warm tones to suit the interior of the home and assist with the scale and measurements that would be required for the space. The tallest of the set stands at 270cm high, barely fitting under my ceiling to paint them! The other two stand at 227cm high and 184cm; each are 49cm wide.
I am so thrilled with the result!
Gumleaves are a constant source of inspiration in my arts practice - I never tire of admiring the unique character, colour and beauty of our Australian native flora.
