Inspired by a Corymbia ficifolia planted on my street by Willoughby Council, this work captures a moment when the tree bursts into pink — alive with light, texture, and the movement of birds drawn to its bloom. It’s a familiar sight transformed into something extraordinary. Painted in acrylic with sculptural texture paste, the surface holds and reflects light, allowing colours to shift as you move around it. Soft blush petals unfold against olive-green foliage and silvery gum nuts, creating a layered composition that feels both vibrant and deeply connected to the Australian landscape. This is not just a floral study — it’s a close, tactile portrait of a living presence. A reminder of how much beauty exists just outside our doors. Perfect for interiors seeking warmth, refinement, and a distinctly Australian sense of place, this piece brings colour, depth, and sculptural presence into the space.
