This richly layered acrylic painting is created on a sturdy handcrafted wood panel and finished with three coats of gloss medium to bring out the depth of colour and texture. It’s presented in a hand-sanded pine float frame, waxed to a soft sheen that complements the work without overpowering it. The final surface is gently taken back with beeswax to a beautiful satin finish that catches the light just right.

This piece is part of a triptych.

Wired and ready to hang straight out of the box.

The Bee Banquet

As part of my six-month residency at The Acres, I filled sketchbooks with weekly drawings of flowers, working in ink and crayon to capture form and colour. These became the foundation for a series of floral triptychs painted in the studio.

Roses have always been deeply personal to me—grown by both my parents and grandparents, and now thriving in my Queensland garden. At The Acres, a towering rose hedge acts as both a windbreak for the flower fields and a year-round food source for the farm’s 80 bee hives, which produce golden honey. These tropical roses are remarkable in their transformation: beginning as vivid fuchsia blooms, softening to peach as they fade.

The Bee Banquet captures the life, colour, and vitality of the roses at The Acres. Each panel can be displayed individually or collected as a complete set of three.
