A sweet and simple watercolour illustration of a Blue-Banded Bee visiting a native Scrambling Lily flower in the garden.
Blue-Banded Bee
The prickly branches of a native lime bush poke throughout this painting – but this is the native habitat where the life cycle of the Dainty Swallowtail Butterfly takes place. Eggs, a caterpillar, two camouflaged chrysalis, a butterfly that has just emerged and is hanging to dry its wings, and at the top of the painting, a butterfly that has just taken off for its first flight.
Butterfly Life Cycle
In the centre of this watercolour artwork is an allegory of Mother Nature, in very soft grey tones. She is calm and serene, with her eyes closed. Her hair becomes a spray of native Wattle, Callistemon and Flowering Gum, and a colourful Rainbow Lorikeet is perched on Her shoulder.
Connection with Nature
Two Yellow Robins perch on the side of a twisting rainforest tree, hunting for insects amongst the mosses and small ferns that grow on the tree. Behind the trees is a warm background glow of a rainforest bathed in sunrise.
Dawn Singers
This gentle Magpie is painted in watercolours on fine art paper, with salt textures creating the feathers on the body, and shades of blue in the plumage reflecting the blue of the surrounding floral pattern. Faint blue grevilleas appear in the background, for extra interest - an iconic Australian flower. Artwork by Nadya Neklioudova.
