Artwork Description

This is the first painting of a pair of iconic Aussie nuts. Everyone loves these.

All I have to do to be inspired is take a walk around my bush yard and collect the gumnuts. They grow on the local Marri (Indigenous word for blood) trees which also ooze a beautiful red resin on hot days.

Wouldn't you love a little bit of Australia in your home? You'd impress your visitors.

"Nutz 1" comes ready for you to hang on your wall, measuring 45.5cm by 30.5 cm. The painting continues around the sides, so no need to frame.

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.
