Margaret Scobie
The above Bush Medicine Leaves painting is one of many variations that Margaret Scobie has created.
Margaret has drawn inspiration from her culture, surrounding environment and in particular the body painting seen from her Anmatyerre heritage, found within the Northern Territory.
A multitude of colours have been incorporated, in particular the warm desert tones, to define each leaf and create contrast. Each fine stroke starts and curves in the opposite direction and is repeated till a cluster is formed. This cluster has the physical shape of lady finger bananas. These clusters are the appearance of leaves with there unpredicted and free flowing nature.
As an interpretation, the overall feel is bush medicines leaves in summer. The fine strokes are closely intertwined between each cluster to give the interpretation of a medicine bush leaves from above. The series of colours are eye catching and have a warming and friendly feel. Bush Medicine Leaves is a painting that once again can be viewed by all audiences and has a continuous flow. Its simplistic strokes form together to create the overall piece and shows that simplistic strokes and an artistic eye can transform and depict anything.
