Spring Blooms with Blue Vase

The sun is out and Springtime is blooming. Absolutely the inspiration for this colourful painting. This abstract impressionist "water media" of high grade Liquitex Acrylic Inks is hand-painted in a loose style wth layers of wash building up the beautiful tones, depicting an overflowing vase of ham-picked flowers. The soft pinks, apricots and green hues contrast with the colourful blue vase. There are copper highlights on the vase. This painting is presented as unframed. You can have it framed to suit your decor or see the framing options offered by Bluethumb

“While I have done many things in life so far, studying, working and travelling extensively, I truly think I was born to paint! I get great joy from creating and more so when my art is appreciated and sought by viewers and collectors. I am so fortunate to live and create in the World Heritage Listed Area of The Blue Mountains, and take most of my inspirations from its natural environs and my own sprawling Studio gardens,

I enjoy being an active member of the vibrant Blue Mountains arts community. I volunteer at my local art gallery and enjoy giving back to the arts community in that way. I have run art classes for 10 years and have been requested by art societies to provide workshops, demonstrations and to judge their exhibitions. I have also curated a number of Public Gallery and Art Society Exhibitions.
