Oil on canvas. Ready to hang unframed. 60cm x 90cm.
This stylised sapling forest in soft warm greens is all about deep calm. The crisp verticals of the white gum trees bring stability and a sense of design to the chaotic layers of the understorey - somewhere to lean and take a breath in our own chaotic lives. Without beginning or end, the trunks pull us into the continuum of the forest: past to future; earth to sky.
This chunky little hollow where a branch has been lost is a perfect size for a little spotted pardalote, flitting about nearby.
The Spotted Pardalote is mostly found in eucalypt forests and woodlands but occurs in parks and gardens with well-established eucalypt canopy. It forages on the foliage of trees for insects, especially psyllids, and sugary exudates from leaves and psyllids. The Spotted Pardalote’s nest is an enlarged, lined chamber at the end of narrow tunnel, excavated in an earth bank - or they nest in tree hollows and occasionally in artificial structures. Hear them around your garden with a repeated three-note whistle, the second two notes higher than the first.
