Oil on linen

Signed on the front.

Dense with delicate textures, this piece is at once rich and simple. I loved the serenity of the white gum and the straight lines. The perfect balance of chaos and calm in this little pocket of forest created a sense of safety for me. A minimalist split-complementary palette of warm and cool green against with reddish-ochre enhaced the sense of balance and simplicity, while the use of water wash on the gum tree and background let light bounce back out from the white surface for a pure, unlaboured finish.

Sustainable shipping: This artwork is unstretched, so will arrive in a mailing tube with no need for plastic bubblewrap. Any framer can easily stretch at the time of framing. Prices for my unstretched works are lower to allow for this extra step.
