Artwork Description

These lovely flowers pop up in my front garden bed in spring each year. Apart from the glorious scent, they have a lovely compact nature which allows them to present with very distinct sections of light and shade. I enjoy this aspect about them as it offers a very delicate and complex structure to present with quite defined, bold shapes. The very dark vase was always going a to be a challenge to paint to give it presence without looking like a dense shadow. I used transparent paint on the light side of the vase which has given it a very pleasing glow and shape.

Kate Ryan is a West Australian oil painter. Kate is particularly interested in the play of light, shadow and colour temperature . “ There is a particular intensity of light and colour that is unique to Western Australia that provides us with endless, magical and fleeting moments of beauty in nature. I try to catch the essence of these transient moments in my paintings. “
Kate’s current focus is on coastal images, wild flowers and still-life. She enjoys the challenge of painting en plein air (outdoors) and from life but also enjoys time in her Floreat studio.
Kate has also had significant success with portraiture and has been a semi-finalist in the prestigious Black Swan (now, Lester Portrait Prize) competition. Her work is now in collections in the UK, USA, New Zealand and around Australia.
