The Byron Bay Graminoid Clay Dwarf Heath Community, a critically endangered ecological community - only 2.5 acres still exist - found only in Byron Bay. I've been busy researching all the plant species found in the area, drawing and taking photographs in the field.
I am painting a series of landscapes of the area and I am including many of the flowering plants found there. I love that area and used to live nearby, I'm enjoying painting about it.
This is the area I am painting about.
These are the first two heathland paintings......
