Eucalyptus, with round grey‑green leaves and clusters of soft pink berries, gathered in an old herbalist’s bottle of pale blue glass. A second sprig rests on the antique newsprint below, set against a dark ground so the leaves and berries do the talking.
The bottle and sprigs are built up in thin layers on panel: gesso first, then dry pure pigments, with the newspaper collaged in and a final wash of beeswax over the whole surface. A contemporary still life painting, one of a kind.
• 30cm x 20cm
• Gesso, dry pure pigments, collage and beeswax on panel
• Framed
