Protea and Grevillea in Bloom

Acrylic on wood, ready to hang.

Signed on the front.

Two beautiful proteas are the focus of the bouquet with grevillea and daisies held in a red clay jug.

The painting is filled with neutral pastel colours as a background to bolder colours in the jug, flowers and table. The elements are dissected by playful lines into shapes holding different colours inspired by a love of stained glass.

The stylized elements are built up in lightly textured layers and held together by intentionally organic lines to add a sense of softness.

Painted on a wooden board it can be hung as is or framed.

The board measures 40.7x50.7cm and is 4.7cm deep.

Painted with artists quality acrylics and finished with a satin varnish
