Whispering Gums is from the series 'Elemental' which is an exploration of prominent colours in Australian flora fauna and landscape. Two hero colours rich in their own right, a deep green and terracotta, form the base palette of this series. Individual paintings extrapolate their relationship, how they complement and contrast and their relationship in variations of hue as tints, shades and blends. Tactile textures remain a key feature of this series with some subtle simplicities including stripping back parts of some paintings to have no texture at all or exploring just one of the hero colours. This painting encapsulates the glorious simplicty of the colours and textures of gum trees, their leaves and patterned bark gently whispering in the breeze.

Approximately 15 layers of acrylic medium and paint are used to build the relief texture, colour overlay and detail. Accents of glass beads provide a hint of shimmer. Shapes and contours are carved into the medium, using mostly non-traditional objects.

Canvas is stretched and ready to hang. Sides are painted to match the background. Satin varnish.
Framed in Tasmanian oak; will hang with or without the frame or change to a frame of your choice.
Signed on the side authored on the back. Comes with certificate of authenticity.

These small paintings are designed to hang on the wall or stand on a surface/table top/shelf (the 5.5cm deep sides make them very stable). Add more smalls and/or minis to create a diptych or triptych or build a collection from my other series.
