Silver Princess (Eucalyptus caesia)

In this artwork, the bark medium provides a strong contrast to the clusters of pink-red flowers with yellow tips and a touch of white on the branches and flower buds of Eucalyptus caesia. While drawing attention of the audience towards its graceful, weeping trait, the artwork also presents a glimpse of the tree’s distinctive ‘minniritch’ bark.

Although the flowers of Eucalyptus caesia are not the most vibrant of colours, the combination of its shades of pastel pink to red brings out the subtle beauty of the flowers, complimented by the greyish green foliage. The way the branches sway in the wind reminds me of an elegant dancer dancing gracefully with the wind, captivating hearts of its audiences.
