Original Painting - Green and Brown Leaves and Ferns Piwakawaka watching the fish get comfortableThis is part of foliage studies for my botanics series. All the studies are painted on stretched circular canvases, ready to hang. First as I painted other works I would wipe my brush on a clean canvas. This was the starting point for the foliage painting on top. A vibrant splash of colour for a small space. 50cm diameter 1. 5 cm deep
