26.5 cm (w) x 35.5 cm (h), unfixed pastels on coloured-ground paper.
Date produced: 2016-2018, while living at Wattle Park

This detailed and finished pastel was done as a combination of a quicker on-site pastel (to capture the colours experienced), with a photograph taken during the first pastel session. The tree is growing close to home, on the edge of Riesling Park, a small park with some play equipment, some medium sized trees, and some regions of lawn used by locals for walking their dogs, etc. I was keen to manage the various yellows, pinks and oranges in this late afternoon sunlit scene.
