This 6ft tall painting is finally finished! Trying to work on a title, so ideas would be very welcome! It doesn't have to have the word boab in it.

Some of you might remember, about 8 years ago, a boab tree was taken out of Kununurra on a great big truck and was planted at Kings Park in Perth. This is the tree that now stands proud in Kings park overlooking the ocean. I have called this painting 'Uprooted'. The bird is a black cockatoo. I wonder if there is anyone who once lived in Kununurra who now lives in Perth, who also feels as if they were uprooted, and miss their home in the Kimberley? Perhaps this painting would make a very thoughtful gift for someone? It has gold leaf and 3.3ct of rough diamonds on it and the price is $2290. Click on pic for the full painting. Feel free to share.

It amazes me every day to see the diverse shapes of the magnificent boab trees. Some are short and rounded, others are tall and skinny. All are beautiful and unique. The flower is from the boab tree. They have the most intoxicating perfume. This one is $2240 framed and has 3ct of real rough diamonds. Click on pic to see the whole painting.
