1960s original watercolour painting, Lionel David, Australian, vintage framed art

Original 1960s watercolour artwork, signed by listed Australian landscape artist Lionel David. Classic Australian bush landscape featuring a prominent eucalyptus (gum) tree in the foreground. The painting strongly reflects the traditional 20th-century Australian plein air style, heavily influenced by notable watercolorists like Hans Heysen. It captures the characteristic muted, warm earth tones of the Australian foreground contrasted against hazy blue distances. Housed in a simple gilt mid century wood frame with original mount behind glass.
