Bark and Blooms reference its source the Tasmanian gum through its textured patterning of trunk and foliage this work reveals Nature’s own mystical qualities of creativity.
This painting is unframed so you can select a frame that reflects what you like. All my artworks are on a fine weave canvas made of either 100% cotton, linen or a cotton-polyester blend. Painted with professional acrylic paints the colors have a high pigment content which means a greater intensity of color. Canvases are stretched on either hardwood or pine professional stretchers, made in Melbourne. I like to do the initial assembling of the stretchers and stretching of the canvases myself which gives me a familiarity with the wood and the surface of the weave and marks the beginning of a new work.
