OIL ON BIRCH
40 × 40 cm
The third in a series of circular paintings using oil on Birchwood. The subject is a tiny cluster of Banksia leaves in a nook beside the road near a beach. They are weathered with age and dots of golden erosion have patterned their underside. The butterfly harkens to old botanical illustrations which I’ve always admired and also adds lightness and wonderment and alludes to transience.
