Gum Leaves Blush – original oil painting by Eve Sellars
~~Currently on exhibition at the Old Courthouse Gallery in Seymour Vic, if you'd like to see "Gum Leaves Blush" in person!~~
THE INSPIRATION
Living in central Victoria allows me to take in the beauty of such a rugged and much-loved landscape.
Tremendous trees adorn my property and provide food and shelter for wildlife, especially koalas and many of species of birds. When these trees flower, one can literally hear the buzzing of thousands of excited bees. It really is something to behold.
ABOUT THE ARTWORK
The natural weave of the linen created by the negative space in the painting forms part of the overall look. Oil paint has a satin finish. It is framed in solid hardwood.
This artwork was mostly created with many layers of paint using a palette knife so the texture is luscious and thick, particularly on the leaves themselves.
MATERIALS
• High standard professional-quality materials used.
• Professional artist oil paint with high quality pigment
• Gallery standard pure linen, which has been primed/sealed with transparent gesso.
• 40cm wide x 51cm high x 3.5cm deep
• Picture wire on D-rings, and felt pads in bottom corners to provide airflow behind the art and to protect your wall.
FRAMING OPTIONS
This painting comes framed but you could purchase without the frame if you prefer. Please let me know, as the price will reduce by $130.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
I was born into a highly creative family of musicians, authors, actors and painters, and learned from a young age how to observe and appreciate nature and my environment. So, as an adult, there is no surprise I have embraced art as my full time career and passion. Working almost exclusively in oil paint, my art is heavily influenced by the indigenous landscape, particularly of the Northern Territory, and my home in central Victoria where I live entirely off-grid on rambling bushland acreage.
