Pandanus. Northern Coastline, Australia
An 8×10 inch acrylic painting on canvas of a Pandanus hidden away in a secluded beach cove.
These trees are one of the iconic tree species of the
Australian NSW Northern coastline. They grow on exposed coastal headlands. Pandanus is a genus of over 600 species worldwide with approximately 30 occuring in Australia in tropical and sub-tropical areas.
Look at me with my striking hands
reaching out across the sand
standing tall I rule the sea
I am a fine specimen of a tree!

One of my favourite trees to paint I can get very carried away!! I tend to take photos everywhere I go too, never do anything with them … as they are so prolific around the beaches here.

Patty Vogler
What a gorgeous painting! The gold of the sand and trees works perfectly with the blues. The branches remind me of the way poodles’ legs get shaved…don’t ask me why…it’s been a long day. Lovely work—the poem is perfect.
Linda Callaghan replied
LOL…never thought of that you do have a good imagination! thank you so very much for your comment and I am glad that you like my ‘poodle’ painting :-D ….appreciated!
BLYTHART
I suspect that you are really one of those famous Stepford Wives that have been programmed to produce beautiful paintings all day long. You are very prolific my friend. Don’t mind me – Stepford Wives is one of my favourite fantasy films :)
Linda Callaghan replied
LOL….Dave I can just imagine your Stepford Wives doing all the housework :-D! ....maybe if I get transformed I can stay home and produce more and more paintings (I set a goal of one a week if I can) ....thanks so much for the ‘beautiful’ comment!
BLYTHART
Trish likes the idea of turning me into a Stepford Husband who would always remember to dust the shelves without being asked :) We’d both settle for a Stepford son who’d tidy his room without being prompted :) He’ll kill me for saying that – haha :)
Linda Callaghan replied
:-D I wish I had a Stepford Husband! LOL…
bevmorgan
