Blushing Banksia

Description

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]After weeks and weeks of pouring myself into exploring these incredible flowers, I feel like it has been a very soul refreshing time for me to explore every detail of these amazing wild flowers.

 

As with any painting, they start with an unassuming white page and then as there is a dance between the artist, the paper and the pigments, you see this birth of not just and image, but a feeling. A feeling of freedom, confidence and the pure essence of strength.

 

The flowers that I have chosen to paint, are not “Fair weather flowers” they are not delicate and timid. They are strong in the face of the harsh sun and the heat of the fire. Their beauty is unassuming and yet to resilient.

 

I didn’t paint this collection for me. I painted it thinking of you. Someone who when they looked at this painting on their wall, they were encourage by the rugged and strong beauty in these flowers.

 

Each piece is woven together with every brush stroke a dance on the paper to form a visual piece of storytelling. While this collection feels very intimate to me, I hope it also speaks to YOU.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
