Out of the Blue is a vibrant expression of unexpected beauty, where bold Banksia flowers emerge in full bloom, their textured forms glowing against a backdrop washed in deep, moody hues. The title hints at surprise and spontaneity, like a sudden burst of colour in a quiet landscape or a moment of wonder in an ordinary day.
With its distinctive cylindrical blooms and saw-edged leaves, the Banksia commands attention. With energetic brushstrokes and rich layers of pigment, allowing fiery oranges and luminous yellows to rise out of cool blue undertones. The contrast between the warm floral forms and the shadowed, bluish background enhances the sense of drama and life.
This piece captures the resilience and uniqueness of the Australian bush, reminding us that nature’s most striking moments often appear suddenly—out of the blue.
