The Rain Tree

Oil on Canvas

Painted during a period in Queensland, This artwork explores the inner structures of foliage and flora native to the area. This is expressed through the elements of shape and vibrant colour evocative to not only the landscape but the experience of being in the tropics.  The gestural lines used to describe the canopy and undergrowth emphasise the vibrant and interconnected ecosystem of tropical plant life which occupies this environment in a harmonious and integrated relationship.
