My painting of the Tessellated Pavement in Tasmania, Australia. It looks manmade but was formed 300 million years ago when the siltstone was fractured and then eroded by the ocean into these 'tiles'. It's extremely rare, found only in a few places on earth. I find it mesmerising!

The bright colours of these two houses are what drew me to capture how they change under the dappled light. I walk past them daily to Parque México in Mexico City. While painting, I realised that the colours reflect two very common foods here in Mexico - mango and lime! 🧡💚
