Four ladies under a full moon - with Glitter

A vibrant painting depicts four women sitting in a circle in a garden at night, surrounded by flowers and trees with the women positioned centrally. They are seated in a relaxed manner, facing slightly inward toward the center of the circle, creating a sense of intimacy. Flowers, bushes, and trees are depicted around the circular area. The artist has used a variety of colors that are very bright and bold, and this is used to create an inviting ambiance. The composition is balanced, focusing on the group of women in the center of the image. The scene appears to be a still moment, with no clear action or interaction. The painting has a wide-angle perspective, encompassing the entire garden scene.
The four women are shown in a similar style, with simple features, dark hair, and dressed in colored dresses; one wearing red, one purple, one blue, and one dark purple. Their poses are relaxed and their expressions calm and peaceful, suggesting a moment of serenity. There's a small light-gray cat in the mid-ground of the scene. The cat appears calm, sitting in the midst of the women and the flowers.
The painting is executed in a style that utilizes bright, vibrant colors, combined with a textured application of glitter on the surface. The brushstrokes are visible and not overly smooth, creating a textured effect. The style appears childlike and whimsical, with the application of glitter adding sparkle and light to the entire image. The figures and objects are depicted with simple, stylized shapes and details, suggesting a playful approach to artistic representation.
The setting is a garden or park at night. The trees and bushes are highlighted with a variety of colors, and the sky is dark, with the presence of a moon visible within the background. The ground is covered with flowers, bushes, and grass. Warm lighting seems to illuminate the circle of women, with a significant contrast between the dark trees and the bright flowers. The overall atmosphere is peaceful and enchanting, with a touch of magic, as indicated by the color palette and the apparent nighttime scene.

Hi ,browser of original Art ! I'm a self-taught Artist born in Darwin, the Northern Territory, Australia
I spent my early years in a town called Batchelor, 98 km south of Darwin. This sunny, natural, free, bush lifestyle taught me respect for the land,it’s creatures and inhabitants.Those vivid memories of the sights, sounds and smells of the Australian northern Tropics of which I am often inspired to paint, will stay with me forever.

My father informs me that I was always painting and drawing as a child, and he actively encouraged my creativity. He once commissioned some Indigenous Artists to paint a mural on our lounge room wall and I remember this was so wonderful and inspiring it gave me my first insights into the magic of art.
I have lived in Dandenong, Victoria, for the past 50 years and I paint on canvas, wood, ceramics, furniture, anything that will hold some paint!
My husband, Robert Walker, a wonderful master potter for more than 50 years taught me how to paint on ceramics. Though not a painter himself he knew all about glazes and how they reacted and fired in the kiln. I had to figure out the rest of this complicated process myself and after some time even managed to win some hand painted ceramics awards in International trade shows in the 80's and 90's (under our business name of Colourware Ceramics).
I’ve entered small Art exhibitions in both Melbourne and Sydney and have won a few encouragement, Merit and honourable mention awards when I was in my 20’s/30s.I’ve also had a solo exhibition in the past, in a place called ‘The Old Cheese Factory’, Berwick in 1992, a gorgeous old world public art gallery here in Victoria made of blue stone and wood.
It was such a pleasure to exhibit there, given the wonderful atmosphere,but since then due to a full time caring role in my family, I have not found the time to have any further exhibitions. Hence finding Blue Thumb as a means of exhibiting my work has been a real blessing.
I paint the ideas, visions and memories in my mind. I paint entirely from my imagination, mind’s eye or spirit, rarely painting in any other way.Occasionally, I might try to paint what I see in the garden or paint a scene that has impressed me from a camping trip or a bush walk, nature is a most powerful inspiration.
My favourite paints are Acrylics, because of their brilliant colours and quick drying time. I’ve been told by many that my paintings have originality and a unique and distinctive style.It is true that I don’t copy at all from other works and I don't reference any materials before painting. I just start painting and see what wants to emerge onto the canvas and my paintings nearly always surprise me in a wonderful way!
I love reading an amazing book called ‘A Course in Miracles’ which has helped and inspired me for more than 25 years, so hopefully you will see that some of my paintings have a type of spirituality about them. My paintings have been called "other worldly "which is such a lovely compliment to me.
I also love fossicking for shells and rocks and gold panning, anything really where I can be in an environment and at one with nature which gives me the life energy and spirit that goes into creating my Art.
