The Sonneratia alba mangrove is found along the coasts of northern Australia and South East Asian regions. The actual tree I sketched from grows among 17 other species along a short stretch of Salt Water Creek in Cairns.

This is a hand signed giclee print of my original artwork and part of a series on mangroves of North Queensland, all drawn from nature, not from photographs. It's printed with water based inks on 310gsm 100% cotton rag fine art paper which gives the colours and detail a rich smooth finish. It is packed with a piece of white card backing in a clear, glossy resealable cello bag. Perfectly presented for a gift, even without a frame. Signature appears on print but Copyright watermarks do not appear on print.

The paper is A5 size, 210mm x 148mm.

I prefer to draw from nature whenever possible and have many botanical drawings including mangroves in my Offshoots series. Use the "Section" button on home page to browse A4 or A5 Botanical Prints. They hang well in pairs or sets, so if you or someone you know is interested in nature, botany or ecology keep an eye on Not Just Tea Towels.
