Artwork Description

On one of my many walks in the bush I was thinking about how a simple encounter with another person, animal or even a tree or flower can alter ones life forever. I came along lots of native little yellow flowers while on that walk and decided to include them in an abstract to describe my thoughts.
The flowers represent us and the water the flow of life. The ripples on the surface of the water represents the effect of the flowers having fleeting encounters.
The painting is bright and will lift any living space. It is interesting and therefore engaging.

Hetty Thompson 102 artworks | 9 Sold

I have always been creative, enjoying to draw since 3 years old. However, art wasn't a prominent part of my life until several challenging and tragic family events occurred. Then in 2010 I went to TAFE and completed certificates I, II, and IV in visual art and I haven't looked back since. I currently paint using oils and acrylic.

My favourite images always come from the natural world, usually during my walks. I will see a scene where the light brings a rare moment of beauty that I want to capture for myself to relive and others to enjoy also. I photograph the scene and use it as the basis of my work but then use my memory of the moment to complete the painting.

Realism is my preferred style. I enjoy other styles between projects for variety. Recently I have been trying to represent my ideas as information visualisation abstracts.

I am very concerned about climate change and the threat to our beautiful world. My paintings capture that beauty and hopefully inspires us all to take care of our home.
