Flora Fantastica No. 2 – Original Painting

From the Flora Fantastica series, Flora Fantastica No. 2 is a one-of-a-kind original painting by Australian artist Kirsten Katz. A lively, high-energy bouquet bursts from a deep navy vase with fine stripes and a dotted base, set on a violet-blue striped tabletop against a soft sage green. At the centre, a golden flower opens in rings of coral and pink around a star-shaped heart, framed by a halo of tiny black dots. A tall golden banksia with mint-tipped stamens rises on the left, joined by pink and orange zigzag leaves, two long blue stems with dotted heads, curling fuchsia petals, an orange honeycomb bloom and deep green leaves scattered with lilac drops. Hand-painted pattern runs through every petal, in lines, dots, zigzags and stripes, giving the whole piece rhythm and movement. Painted in acrylic on a 40 x 60cm canvas and professionally framed in Australia in a Tasmanian oak float frame. The light timber sits easily in any interior, from coastal and beach homes to soft beige rooms, and lets the painting and its colours take centre stage. Signed and titled on the back, so no signature interrupts the painting itself. Ready to hang. Beautiful on its own, or hung with No. 1 and No. 3 as a set of two or three. Once sold, this piece will not be repeated. Framed size: 43 x 63.5cm (17 x 25in) Canvas size: 40 x 60cm Medium: Acrylic on canvas
