Many paintings that come further after previously stated ‘Banksia Cobs’, truly presents Preston’s change in themes ideas and concepts through the styles and techniques she has elected to use. A set of paintings all incorporating banksia’s in them, including ‘Rose and Banksia’ (1936), ‘Banksia’ (1938), and ‘The Brown Pot’ (1940), all present the drastic changes in the styles, techniques, elements, and principles Preston uses. In ‘Rose and Banksia’ it features exactly what would have been depicted from her perspective. This means she has used many techniques to present a style in which sets the tone of realism. This then changes to a style which involves a new perspective and a more ‘frantic’ or clustered concept in her next painting, ‘Banksia’.
