MALACHITE 100 cm x 150 cm Mixed Media On Canvas 66 Perle SPRING 2018 Malachite personifies the deep healing green of nature and represents the innate beauty of flowers, trees, roots and plants. In this painting, I blended the background with soft earthy colours that reflect hues of sunset and sunrise to convey the passage of time, as these precious stones develop layer by layer over millennia. Every corner of earth is pregnant with beautiful gemstones waiting to be discovered and delivered to us by travelers, jewelers, collectors, and geologists.
