Acrylic, ink and charcoal on canvas 90 x 90cm
Callistemon in full flower — vivid scarlet against a deep, complex green — painted with the same expressive urgency the plant itself embodies. This is not a botanical study but a response to the raw vitality of one of Australia's most distinctly native plants. The mark-making is free and physical, the colour unapologetic. Burning Bright bridges the botanical and landscape works in this collection, the green world of the background connecting it to both bodies of work simultaneously.
Varnished, wired and presented in a natural Tasmanian Oak floating frame.
