Bush Litter Ed. 1 of 25

"Bush Litter" is from one of my favourite paintings.

Australian native wildflowers and Eucalyptus trees are the most diverse in the world, but don't ignore the environment in which they grow. Look down to see the world that enriches, supports and is the beginning of those huge big Gum trees. From the decaying undergrowth the nuts will disperse the tiny seeds. They will settle in the natural mulch and begin their life.
This painting is to show the lovely warm colours and textures that we will often ignore as unimportant. A beautiful warm organic painting.
Tread carefully. From little things, big things grow.

The image continues around the sides of the frame, so no need for decorative framing. Hang it directly on your wall.

It measures 50cm by 76cm

Delma considers herself a Contemporary Botanic Artist. Traditionally, Botanical art is executed in watercolour or graphite, actual size with a plain background. Contrary to tradition she paints in oils, on canvas, in full saturated colour. The plant must be readily identified and is always larger than life, even though the work maybe a miniature. The subject is always ‘in situ’, in reference to the larger ecosystem. Delma always locates the subject in its natural habitat. Delma paints intricate detail to be true to the beauty of nature. She doesn’t paint impressions of flowers. It is her purpose to capture the reason for its existence and how it looks and survives and its interactions with other plants and animals. I want the viewer to be fascinated by the beauty and uniqueness of Western Australian flora and to consider the environment. I want them to see and feel what I did when I found that little orchid glowing in the sun and its petals fluttering in the breeze.Going out bush to isolated places in Western Australia inspires Delma works in pastels of Rural Life. Her Still Life studies enable her to work in her studio on the effects of light on everyday objects.
