Artwork Description

This playful still life celebrates one of my all-time favourite breakfasts—avocado on toast, with a generous sprinkle of chilli for a little morning zing! Painted in oils with a palette knife, the avocado has a lush, dimensional texture that almost jumps off the canvas.

It’s a piece that blends realism with a touch of whimsy and warmth—perfect for kitchen walls, dining spaces, or anywhere that needs a pop of personality (and maybe a hint of spice).

Fresh, vibrant, and unapologetically Aussie.
