The Okari Nut, Terminalia kaernbachii, is a large rainforest tree that grows in the low to mid-montane rainforests of Papua New Guinea. It produces bright purple fruit that contain a crisp, white, delicious nut about 6 to 8 cm long. It is grown on a small commercial scale. The leaves develop stunningly beautiful textures and colours before they drop from the tree.The leaves that inspired this painting were collected by the artist in a remote part of PNG whilst scrambling through very wet rainforest to see a spectacular waterfall – Wawoi Falls. The bright colours, varied and intricate textures and the beginning of decay seemed to capture the mood of this wild corner of the world
