Original Watercolour on Arches HP 300
Dimensions: 240mm x 300mm $150 (Contact Rosalie) This was a challenge to get multiple flower heads in the one painting and trying to get depth using different colour variations and tones. Nature is amazing - the perfect pairing of green and violet. Painting it made me appreciate it all the more. |

Cucumber Magnolia - Magnolia acuminata
|
ORIGINAL: Watercolour paint on Fabriano HP 640 paper; Unframed dimensions 210mm x190mm
$95 (Contact Rosalie) This tree is so named because the unripe fruit is green and often shaped like a small cucumber. When mature it turns to a dark red or wine colour and the carpels split open to release bright red seeds. It has beautiful large white/cream flowers but the appearance of the mature fruit is particularly breathtaking, and attractive to the local currawongs.
