Here is my take on this local native species. Size 94 x 58 cm Gloss acrylic on board. Nearly ready for an upcoming group exhibition at the Rushworth ART Depot in May.
The Red Box is of comfort and happiness, as it lines the road leading to where I was born and is also native to where I now live .
The Rushworth ART Depot has been fortunate to have local environmentalist and landscape architect Louise Costa run a series of Botanical drawing classes based on Dynamic Drawing and her own in-depth knowledge of plants. Lou introduced two new species each week explaining their qualities and how they may be included in a garden . Providing habitat for wildlife and insects, the idea of including more natives appeals.
