Beauty of Australia * Waratah & Flannel Flowers

This short video is based on just one of my original paintings on silk: 'Waratahs and Flannel Flowers.'

Combining the Australian indigenous word: Waratah with the Greek Genus name: Telopea, the meaning of Waratah is aptly Beauty Seen from Afar.

All the biological details of the Waratah can be seen at http://budurl.com/WBio

Being sensitive to the energy of the natural environment, the indigenous people of Australia know that different plants and flowers have different healing properties that can be transmitted to anyone: Simply being in the vicinity of the flowers and coming 'Under their Gaze' is enough.

While this is an innate instinct for people still in touch with the dreamtime of this great continent, most city dwellers don't have the opportunity to 'Go Bush' whenever they feel physically, emotionally, mentally or spiritually depleted.

And then: Enter the World of 'Visually absorbing the color and Essence of the Bush Flowers.'

The beauty of one of these magnificent crimson WILD flowers in full bloom, standing tall amongst the soft blue/green/grays of the Australian bush scrub all around the Sydney area is a magnificent sight to see .. And the Waratah Presence can be very strongly felt.

The Essence of Waratah can instill qualities of courage and vitality as well as imparting survival skills, supporting adaptability. For me, the Waratah also emulates the spirit and lifeblood of Australia and I aspired to capture this quality in my paintings.

This short video is just the start of documenting the 12 year period in which I produced Wearable Art * Framed Paintings * Wall Panels and Screens * Before designing THE ultimate, one and only, and never-to-be-repeated-again wall hanging Australian WILD Flowers.

And its my hope that the short videos in this series will also enable any viewers to absorb some of the healing energy of Australia via the 'Waratah' and many other distinctive plants and flowers from The Great Land Down Under.
