Banksia 1

Mixed Media on canvas

20 x 20 x 3.5 cm

The Banksia plant takes center stage in the foreground, its distinctive, spiky flowers reaching upward toward the sky. The vibrant golden-yellow and burnt orange hues of the Banksia contrast beautifully with the cool blues and greens of the sea stretching out beyond. The sea, calm and expansive, gently laps at the shore under a wide, open sky, where soft, wispy clouds hint at the fading light of dusk. The Banksia, a symbol of resilience and beauty in the Australian landscape, seems almost to be gazing out over the vast ocean, its rugged form standing strong against the elements.
