The artist depicts ghost gums and bush oranges in a vibrant and intense field of colour.

This work was painted while the artist was participating in a Certificate in Art & Craft course through the Batchelor Institute of Indigenous Tertiary Education. The course enabled the artist to develop a freer style of painting.
