Song of The Gum Nuts - Framed

80cm (H) x 80cm (W) x 6cm (D)

Oil on Gallery Linen Canvas

Gum Nuts are iconic elements of the Australian Landscape, there are so many varieties, unique shapes, colours and textures.  I am drawn to the way light plays on the rough surface of the gum nuts,Eucalyptus trees are known for their ability to thrive in harsh conditions, and I wanted to capture the spirit of resilience in this painting.I have added texture behind the gum nuts giving a wonderful rough feel to them compared to the smoothness of the leaves.  Another limited palette creation using mostly, greys, browns, greens and yellow on a natural linen background.Framed in a raw oak float frame. Size quoted is the framed size. It would suit a contemporary or classic setting.Supplied with a Certificate of Authenticity.
