Golden Wattle

Concept Development / Painting On-Site 2023

Mural Development and painting for private outdoor garden

Thank you to G & T and @bookanartist.co for making this project possible.

This mural project aims to celebrate the beauty of Australian native plants and flora while creating an aesthetically pleasing composition for a private outdoor garden. The central focus of the mural is a collage of stunning flower arrangements within a circle, representing the vitality and harmony found in nature.

Building on one of the previous mural projects, I extended the concept by incorporating various Australian native plants and flora into a captivating collage, with carefully selected arrangement of:

  • Wattle Flower: The main feature of the mural, the golden wattle symbolizes resilience and vitality, representing the spirit of the Australian landscape.
  • Gum Leaves: Providing a beautiful background, gum leaves convey a sense of tranquility and connection to nature.
  • Gum Nut: Adding depth and texture, gum nuts contribute to the overall visual interest of the composition.
  • Brazilian Amaryllis: Bringing a touch of contrast and allure to the mural. They grow in very extreme and moist environments, commonly found near waterfalls in rich soil situated on granite rocks.
  • Double Daffodil: With their cheerful blooms, these daffodils introduce a sense of joy and optimism to the composition.
  • Succulent: Known for their resilience, succulents represent adaptability and the ability to thrive in challenging conditions.
  • Agapanthus: These beautiful blue blooms add a touch of serenity and grace to the mural, enhancing its overall aesthetic.
