Let's go for a walk - Framed in Oak

Let's go for a walk - When I was painting this painting, I knew that I wanted to call it 'Let's go for a walk'...leading into the Easter school holidays, it's possibly my favourite weather to go outside and discover, camp, hike and explore. Especially with my two little boys. The colours in this painting give me the same harmony feeling I get when I am outside with nature. It feels like going out for a hike in winter in your rain coat and breathing in the freshest air possible.

Stretched Linen, 80cm x 80cm. Framed in Oak.

Original Artwork painted on a hand stretched canvas by a local framer in Adelaide - South Australia. Floated in a hand made Tasmanian Oak frame. Acrylic paint. Signature on front and back. Wire on back.

Lena Baumgartner is self-taught and creates large scale abstract expressive works. Looking at Lena's works and you feel everything first - bold colours, soft gesture and the pulse of emotion. She creates thick, texturally brush strokes that you want to reach out and touch. She often pairs striking and contrasting colours together to provoke emotional responses when viewing her artwork from afar. Her practice is mood-led with restless days drawing in the greens and blues while frenetic days are filled with vibrant pinks or even muted neutrals. Sometimes the compositions are clean, other times they're messy and alive. She has actively participated in both solo and group exhibitions, showcasing her talent and unique way of mixing and blending colours on canvas. You can also see her artwork on the South Australian Renmark Gin brand - 23rd Street, Mulberry Gin bottle.
