Gum Leaves on Blue Table

Artwork signed on the front.
Bluethumb “Rising Star” Artist and finalist in the 2021 Bluethumb Art Prize.

My art explores the colour and form of Australian native flora - in this painting, eucalyptus leaves, gum nuts and gum tree blossoms in a flowing botanical composition. I have included a pink vase and pretty blue table cloth to add freshness and more saturated hues to my artwork.

Thick layers of gorgeous professional oil paint were applied with a palette knife and brushes, in harmonious earthy tones and muted purples and pinks with little pops of blue and plenty of warm pink/salmon. The edges of the leaves on the left, and the table cloth, are painted below and around the sides and bottom as pictured.

The negative space created by raw linen is the perfect backdrop, and the linen has been fully sealed with transparent primer.

I am a visual artist and painter whose love and passion for the Australian landscape has resonated with collectors for many years.

My little studio is nestled into the bush in central Victoria, surrounded by gum trees and a noisy population of birds, and overlooks the mountains and pasture adjacent to the Goulburn River.

Although now retired, assuming that is possible for someone creative, my journey continues, and a small selection of work will be made available at very affordable prices. Your purchase helps me buy art supplies and supports my creative journey. Thank you x
