A Shining Light
Framed original Acrylic Painting on stretched canvas in an American Ash float frame by @southernbuoy.

(w) 123 cm x (h) 93 cm x (d) 5.5 cm (Framed Size)
This piece is an explosion of colour featuring many native flowers. It showcases flowers in a joyful dance depicting movement in the artwork. This piece features proteas, bluegums and banksias on a cheerful background of soft blues and purples.
This piece is a celebration.
Through painting botanicals I explore themes of growth and change. I felt the Australian bush was well placed to encompass themes of adaptation. Australian Flowers and botanicals not only survive in extreme circumstances but also display characteristics of thriving in the midst of hardship. I feel this is true for growth as well. Whilst we all enjoy the benefits of periods when life feels a bit easier, growth usually comes about through periods of difficulty.
This piece features the King Protea which is native to South Africa. The protea is thought to be related to Australia’s native Banksias, Waratahs and Grevilleas. The King protea too has a remarkable ability to overcome wildfires and regenerate growth. It’s petals form a structure like a crown.
This piece was named “Shining Light” to imply hope in the midst of challenges. What brings you hope in the midst of darkness?
