Artwork Description

This painting captures a tranquil wooded area on the island I live on, the viewer can look through a tall stand of trees toward a vivid turquoise sea in the distance. The tree trunks are rendered in soft browns and deep purples, with dappled sunlight highlighting patches of bark. Fresh green foliage crowns the branches, while the woodland floor is shaded in cool blue and violet tones, suggesting filtered light beneath the canopy.
In the foreground, wild grasses sway gently, painted with lively strokes of pale yellow, lavender and soft green, giving a sense of movement and texture.
Scattered wildflowers punctuate the grass with hints of brighter colour, adding vibrancy. The water beyond glows in rich aquamarine, contrasting beautifully with the muted tones of the trees and grass. The distant horizon is softened with a haze of mauve coloured islands under a pale sky, lending depth and serenity to the scene.
The overall effect is peaceful and atmospheric, evoking the gentle warmth and light of a coastal afternoon.
Please tap on Millie's name at the top of the page (beneath the price) to see her entire portfolio.
Framed within Oak under professional grade acrylic glass for safety of transportation and lightness of weight.

Artist Bio

Based on Coochiemudlo, a smaller island situated approximately a kilometre off the coast of Queensland, between Brisbane and North Stradbroke Island, Millie, an award winning artist, is innately influenced by the abundance of foliage and wildlife that inhabit her locality.
Unbound to a sole medium or creative methodology, her depictions align with the subject’s intrinsic elements and resonance. Millie paints in a way that depicts her thoughts and feelings of the subject, which has helped her tremendously throughout her adult life and experiences.
“There is no grief as you embrace and involve yourself deeply within the subject of your painting,” Millie states after the passing of her only son in 2003. “Painting was a lifesaving form of comfort at the time of my son’s passing, and continues to be up to the present moment.”
Millie possesses a BA in Fine Arts from Charles Sturt University and a Masters in Art Therapy from the University of Queensland.
