Eucalyptus & Banksia with Blue-Faced Honeyeater

‘Eucalyptus Flowers & Banksia with Blue-faced Honeyeater’, hand-coloured linocut on handmade Japanese paper.

This linocut measures 60 X 42 cm, smaller than most of my large ones but it has a lot packed into it!

It is an intricate composition and was quite a task to cut without losing my way. I am happy with the result as although it is not as graphic as some of my linos, there is a lot going on for repeated and close-up viewing.

The Giant Spear Lily is related to the Gymea Lily, instead of the flowers opening in a large head, with this Lily they open along the the arching stem. They are very large and showy! The Silvereye is a small Australian native bird with a distinctive white ring around the eye.
