Artwork Description
The "Drenched in Golden Radiance" series is made up of two paintings, a banksia and a waratah. These paintings were inspired by the transition from summer to autumn, where my art began reflecting the vibrant hues of the changing seasons. Earthy reds, deep purples, golden tones, and burnt oranges started to influence my palette. Although banksias and waratahs aren’t typically in bloom during this time, I aimed to capture a unique interpretation where autumn colours blend with the fiery tones of summer, symbolising a harmonious fusion of seasons. Rain-filled evenings and the glistening sunlight through raindrops on plants inspired me to paint these native flowers in a non-traditional way. Utilising heavy impasto strokes and palette knives, I mimicked the natural textures of the plants, bringing out the rich, tactile quality of the flowers.
