Original oil painting on wood panel, 46 cm x 60 cm x 2 cm. Unframed.
In this particular painting, I was interested in the fleeting nature of the seasonal watttle bloom - hence the wispy, transparent swathes of yellow that almost seem to travel across the canvas, bringing sudden light and colour to a browned, late-winter landscape. I am endlessly fascinated by the contradiction of Australia’s muted, earthy palette and its flashes of vibrant colour that, somehow, marry beautifully.
This piece is from my ‘Joy’ collection celebrating the annual wattle bloom in my hometown, Canberra. In nature’s own festival of Spring, wattle trees stuff the landscape full of bright yellow blooms. The wattle are naturalised all through the suburbs, the roadsides and the hills. It’s a bit like Japan’s cherry blossom season, in yellow. The flowers are little spheres with rays of delicate stamen, like miniature suns. I can’t resist the joy of them.
The piece is signed on the front and will arrive wired to hang (including if unframed). You will also receive a hand-signed certificate of authenticity.
