Kurrajong Tree in the Approaching Bushfire

Kurrajong Trees are an important source of Bush Medicine for Australian Indigenous people.

The second work in this series, The first can be viewed here

I’m astounded at the popularity of these works….

I’m often asked to explain the gold swirls… they represent the burning embers that are carried in the wind generated by the fire.

this is beautiful. I find it quite mesmerising, in the way the background colours interact with the white and the black. it seems to move in and out. a beautiful design DrinkMeAlice!
DrinkMeAlice replied

Thank you very much Deb. I wanted to capture the impending approach of the fire, the heat, the blowing embers… I didn’t like it that much when I finished it, but has grown on me : )
