This is one of many paintings of the iconic Aussie nut. Everyone loves these.

All I have to do to be inspired, is take a walk around my bush yard and collect the gumnuts. They grow on the local Marri (Indigenous word for blood) trees which also ooze a beautiful red resin on hot days. The Red Tailed Black Cockatoos love the seeds inside the gumnut and sit in the gum trees dropping the nuts on the ground.
The bug in this one may not be obvious. It is the larvae form of a Eucalyptus Weevil, a tiny beetle. The bugs are usually camouflaged against the brown branches.
Wouldn't you love to have this in your home? You'd impress your visitors. The earthy colours will suit every decor.
"Nature's Cycle" comes ready for you to hang on your wall, measuring 40cm by 30cm. The painting continues around the sides, so no need for decorative framing.
This one would hang very nicely with another gumnut painting, so stay tuned as I hope to do more of these beauties.
