Some Cool Shade

What a stunning piece to have on your walls on a hot day. Refreshingly cool to look at with promises of a cool swim as we pass by the shady vegetation that surrounds our beautiful pristine beaches on Coochiemudlo Island, Queensland and head toward the beach.
Please note: The styled scene is just to show colors, the image will have to be framed.
I use artist quality light fast soft pastel on archival sanded paper which will survive for centuries.
This pastel piece is not framed as I have found that personal taste is a big factor in choosing frames. Buying unframed also saves a lot of money for the purchaser as he/she can then choose a frame which suits their own personal budget and decor. My pastel paintings are shipped between acid free foam core boards ready to take right to the framer and are totally safe to post. This also resolves the problem of glass breakage in transit and framing damage which is not covered by insurance.

Different monitors may change the colours of the artwork slightly, however I do my utmost to keep the colours true.

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.
