This painting was a finalist in the Newcastle Emerging Artists Prize in 2019. It was done using a photo that I took of a huge protea bush that had naturalised in an abandoned rural garden near Mount Royal National Park. Without someone looking after it, the leaves and flowers show signs of weather and insect damage, but it's still glorious. I wanted to share the joy of those colours, but more than that, the beauty of imperfection.
