Baden Croft

Golden Waratah, 2026
Oil on canvas
140 × 130 cm

Golden Waratah captures the distinctive form of the Australian native through Croft’s expressive, painterly approach. Radiating outward in vivid strands of yellow and orange, the bloom is set against a deep ground that heightens its luminosity and intensity.

Thick, gestural brushwork and layered colour emphasise both structure and movement, transforming the botanical subject into a dynamic, almost sculptural presence.
