Artwork Description

'I want to speak to the manager'

Have you ever heard those words? I hope not! Yes this disgruntled stonefish blends into his surroundings, waiting for an opportunity to express his dismay at the world around and the unsatisfactory service he receives!

He'll be behind you at the checkout complaining he should be served first, he'll be in the bank bemoaning the need to fill in the forms, he'll be on the phone telling the power company how things ran "back in my day".

Sometimes there's a little disgruntled stonefish in all of us when things just don't go our way!

On a happy note, the walnut brown tones on this guy have been softened with lovely warm mauves and delft blues, providing a glimmer of hope that things might just get better.

This piece was completed over several weeks using a multi-layer blending technique.

Artist Bio

“I choose my subjects like I choose my food: I’ll have a little of everything”

Candace is a drawing artist living on Australia’s Gold Coast. She is best known for her diverse subjects and detailed works that catch the eye. Primarily working with colour pencil and graphite, Candace specialises in expressing realism through her technique.

Her art’s ability to capture realistic detail and captivate and move emotions resulted in her piece ‘This is not a drill’ being announced the winner of the 2020 Art Lovers Australia Prize.

Candace’s work is often inspired by something offbeat, situations of everyday life or from her travels. Some pieces tell a clear story, others allow the viewer to derive their own meaning and connection. Being unencumbered by set themes and subjects allows her to create something truly unique to the occasion.

She has been told she is “down-to-earth” in her creative approach and talents. She welcomes the description as she firmly believes art skills are attainable by anyone. “It takes dedication, hard work and practice, rather than wishful thinking and an artsy-fartsy smock!”
