This stunning, metallic gold, silver and bronze illustration features a Golden Wattle (Acacia pycnantha) and a bee. Australia's national flower, it attracts birds, native butterflies and insects and is a caterpillar food plant. It is distributed in South Australia, Victoria and New South Wales in open forest and woodland. In bright light and under sunlight the leaves and flowers of this artwork have a sparkly effect. This very detailed piece would look lovely in a silver or gold frame to set off the artwork.

Celebrating the beauty of Australian native flora.

Metallic gold and silver as well as coloured pencils help to define and give more detail to the piece. High quality, 300gsm watercolour paper.
