Tote Bag - 'Drawing Near'

The Dandenong Ranges on the outskirts of Melbourne have a perfect blend of native-Australian and exotic trees and plants. The Dandenong Ranges Botanic Garden is no exception to this. On one walk I took there I noticed the sun catching some trees in the distance wearing their autumnal splendour. They were framed by the shadowy tree trunks nearby. I had the sense that this was a sacred moment - like I was drawing near to heaven's glory or it was drawing near to me. I captured the scene in this watercolour and pen and ink artwork - naming it 'Drawing Near'. I cannot help but think of stained-glass windows and butterfly wings when I see it. May you too have that sense of heaven's glory drawing near as you enjoy this artwork.
