Margaret Scobie, Bush Medicine Leave
The Canvas Art Gallery

(see more by this artist)

TITLE: Bush Medicine Leaves
PAINTED SIZE: approx 190 x 125mm [plus border]
COMPLETED: 2008
MEDIUM: Artist acrylic paint on canvas

THE ARTIST:

Name: Margaret Scobie
Born: 1948-
Place; Woolla Downs – Northern Territory
Language; Anmatyerre

Margaret is a senior and well-respected woman at Utopia and comes from a famous artistic family indeed. A major artist in her own right, her aunt is the late great Emily Kngwarreye [the highest priced female Aboriginal artist ever sold at auction - over $1 mil] and her cousins include the internationally renowned Kathleen and Gloria Petyarre. Margaret’s subject matters involve spinifex, bush medicine and body painting, often painted with a vivid array of colours and great sense of movement. This highly collectable artist is definitely 'bankable'.

THE STORY: Margaret’s stunning piece depicts the leaves of a particular type of native shrub [the kurrajong] renowned for its natural medicinal properties. These leaves are gathered by the women and boiled over a camp fire. They use this to make a form of bush tea and the residual material is then mixed into a paste with other ingredients [including kangaroo fat] to make healing potions.

THE PAINTING: In an art sense, Margaret is the artistic master of the understated simplicity. With this painting she has created a wonderfully soothing masterpiece by employing a range of almost effortless brush strokes in delicate autumn shades - to represent the medicine leaves swirling on the ground in the gentle desert breeze. This striking piece would definitely command attention on any wall [either hung horizontally or vertically] – or enhance any investment portfolio. The photos definitely do not do it justice.

This art work is quite large, very colourful and very detailed piece of work.

PROVENANCE: This painting comes with a Certificate of Authenticity and Margaret has signed her work verso.
