Resilience of ghost gums, small vers.

from Improbable crevices in dry rock walls stark white ghost gums seem to thrive..White against red with black shadows, in this painting I've added small amounts of green leaf. Survival is easy.. just don't die! I've painted in acrylic on canvas on board, which has been backed by a thicker board which has created a white border, ready to hang. Total size including white border is 50cm 59.5cm.
