Treasure 4 by Kate Wise

Honoring the ancient River Red Gums that stand like sentinels in the paddocks of the Western District of Victoria.

Do you notice the solitary river red gum in a paddock as you drive by? This original painting ‘Treasure 4’ by Kate Wise is the beginning of a series of paintings expanding on her ‘through the trees’ collection. Kate wants to celebrate each river red gum as a natural treasure, an old city still full of life, standing like a sentinel in an otherwise treeless paddock. Through her painting, she is saying to each tree “I see you, I appreciate you, I love you and you are important”. Each gum tree is unique in its gnarly, wizened, weather beaten beauty. Kate pours flowing acrylic paint to represent the nooks and crannies, holes and knobbly protrusions, juxtaposing this detail against soft negative space to emphasize the importance of this treasured tree.
