Art print of an original painting by Helen Ansell. Boab Tree (Adansonia gregorii)The Boab Tree is related to the Madagascan and African Adansonia species known as baobabs.

Art print of an original painting 'Cut Leaf Banksia' by Helen Ansell. “While I have painted many Banksias before, what attracted me to paint this variety was the gorgeous pinky colour that some varieties of this plant come in.  I love how Bankias come in all different shapes and colours and as the common name suggests – the leaves on this plant are somewhat shorter and appear to almost have been cut. I have also painted Wattlebirds before but I just love how their simple shapes and natural pa...
