Red mallee - acrylic artwork on canvas, 100x76cm

Silky slippery gum leaves and tiny clusters of gum nuts.

Have you ever been to the eucalyptus lawn at the National Botanic Gardens? It’s a pretty unnatural place actually - european grass prettily maintained under all the big, old gums. Unnatural or not, it’s incredibly peaceful, and is a favourite place to stop for a rest on the way back down the mountain, or stop in for a visit if we just need to bring ourselves down from life. I keep wondering where the outdoor yoga classes are, because it seems prime for them.

This piece is full of the meandering little paths of scrabbly insects, and the silky dapple of hanging leaves. It’s an afternoon lying on the grass and watching the wind in the trees.

Hanging

This piece is being sold unframed and can come ready to hang (with hooks and wire installed, at your preferred orientation) or with hanging fittings supplied separately. If you intend to frame, the framer can install the hanging fittings for you. 

Framing

We are happy to organise framing with our preferred supplier at an additional cost. The best way to go about this is to purchase the piece, and contact us directly after checkout for a framing quote.

Frames range drastically in price depending on size, style and materials, and can be a very personal preference.

Our personal preference would be to frame this in a floating frame made of Victorian ash or Tasmanian oak. 

Freight

This piece is oversized and will require a courier quote to deliver outside Canberra. Within Canberra happy for the buyer to pickup directly, or we can organise delivery at an additional cost.
