Description
This artwork was originally a water color sketch I did of part of my daughter's front yard garden area, where a banana tree grows although it doesn't bare fruit. I've since uploaded this image and through using a digital medium, have created a posterised effect so as to enhance the semi abstract quality of this image, as well as giving the desired coloring and effects. This garden is quite lovely with tall trees and shrubs growing in it, as it makes its way up a fairly steep incline from street level towards the back of the house. As well as it being somewhat nestled in the an area of Sydney where there's a natural bush-land reserve area, there is a delightful view as one can see across bush-lands, hills and other homes as well as the setting sun through the trees in the evenings from this place. Being built in a hilly area of North Sydney in Beacon Hill (Australia), the house has been built up to a two story level with the main living area and front door opening out onto a fairly large balcony style verandah area on the top floor section of this home where one can sit and enjoy the views. It was from this area that I created this initial artwork. Through the trees part of the neighborhood can be seen with homes etc.

Always fun to revisit a previous painting to see what more can be done. This is very nice with the abstracted look.

This work is beautiful, Leanne. I have a special feeling for banana tree leaves. f,l
