BUSH MEDICINE DREAMING
Margaret’s traditional design depicts the leaves of a particular type of native shrub renowned for its medicinal properties. During the life of the plant the leaves change colour and as they do so they exhibit different medicinal properties.In this painting, Margaret employs a range of brush strokes & colours to represent the leaves at different times of the year.
