Hats Off
Hats Off
This piece is a celebration of the stunning colours present in our local Silver Princess Eucalyptus. I love to study these trees on my sunrise walks during winter, when they are at their most beautiful. When it has rained overnight or drizzling in the morning, the water wipes away some of the white powder to reveal their hidden colours.
One particular morning, I noticed a branch which had a perfect little section of blossoms, one in full bloom, one that was just about spread out and one where it’s little hat was almost ready to pop off. The rain had revealed amazing colour on the pods and I just had to paint it.
The name came easily, I had delivered a painting in the days before to a lovely collector who had one of these trees in her front yard. She mentioned she would collect the almost blooming pods for her daughter who loved to pull their little hats off. The hats were lined up on the hall table.
I thought this was so sweet and it stuck in my head. Featuring a moody backdrop of deep green and colourful gum leaves moving in the breeze, there’s something special about ‘Hats Off’. This beautiful Australian native was hand painted in acrylics on a gallery quality canvas.
Hats Off is a signed original artwork measuring approximately 83cm x 83cm. It comes in a floating timber frame and is ready to hang.
