"Fringe Lily - the Tufted and Twining
& Finds from the Forest Floor"
Picture
Commissioned by friends for the 1st birthday of their grand-daughter Lily, who is beautiful and dainty as a Fringe Lily.
I knew my friends' love for the Jarrah Forest should be in the story. The forest is intrinsic to the world of this pretty native flower.
Forest is represented by finds from the forest floor, with Marri and Jarrah fruit and leaves, Bracken, Lichen, Swords-edge and a Peppermint twiglet bringing in timeless movements of the sun, stars and moon, summer and winter, seed-setting and flowering.
Nature’s unobtrusiveness is represented too, in that it is easy to overlook precious leaf litter, essential to forest health and to keep biodiversity singing. As I painted, I thought of my friends watching out for this small wildflower, the fringe lily, tjungoori, each spring, djilba, and their love for their first grand-daughter Lily.
