Series 2

Australian Salmon Gum captures the essence of certain Australian trees, such as the Salmon Gum, known for its trunk adorned in salmon hues. Traditional artists often derived their colours from the Old World, tailored for painting the European landscape. However, the Australian landscape, dominated by eucalyptus trees with greyish leaves and uniquely shedding bark, demanded a distinct colour palette. Unlike the lush greens of other regions, Australia showcases trunks revealing white and salmon shades, creating a landscape like no other. Even the deserts in the centre and the grassy plains in the Gulf Country boast a hint of salmon during the summer.
