"Bushflowers" was painted as a response to all the natural twigs, seedpods and flowers that I have collected on my daily walks. The painting also includes images of memories and impressions that stayed with me.
I kept the work visually light with fairly high tone colours, and the palette concentrates on pretty hues of pinks and greens.
There are a couple areas of graphite where I drew some line work into the wet oil surface. This linear work was then echoed with the white paint drawings of the bottle tree pods.
The painting is sent unframed but is finished with painted sides.

Original Artwork's Description
Artist Bio
I am an oil painter and over the years I have experimented with that medium using various styles and supports, techniques and tools. However, the subject matter is always the one common denominator. ...the subject is always based in nature, and invariably represents my response to something I have just seen in the landscape, or a small collected specimen that I have brought back to the studio.
My studio work process begins with an initial and very roughly painted sketch on the canvas, which is then followed by a loose application of paint over the entire picture plane in order to give an idea of composition and colour balance. These first stages are quickly executed, but with the slow drying nature of oils, the ensuing layers, and the final finished work can be days or weeks later.
The wonderful thing about art and any creative endeavour is that there is no arrival point. It is a journey of looking, learning, and discovery.
