Acrylic on wood panel, 30×30 x 4 cm
The sides of this painting have been painted turquoise, and the title and signature are handwritten on the bottom side. The right hand side has a short statement about the piece handwritten on it.

D rings and wire are attached and the piece is ready to hang.

This richly layered acrylic painting is created on a sturdy 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 meranti 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.

Wired and ready to hang straight out of the box.

  • The painting is finished with 3 coats of gloss medium

  • When the gloss is dry, the surface is waxed to produce a soft satin finish.

  • Meranti is a pinkish hardwood

  • The style and colour frame perfectly the work

  • A float frame is a simple and contemporary look which enhances a work without overwhelming it

My art is bursting with exuberant colour and texture realised in acrylic on board. This piece is part of an extensive body of work, a response to a year-long artist-in-residence at a flower farm in Camp Mountain.

Through observational drawing, painting and photography on location, Helen recorded the farm cycle of preparing, planting, nurturing, harvesting, resting and replenishing, exploring the special sense of place that the farm exudes spirit

I made a series of paintings of poppies from drawings I had made at the farm. The poppies grew for a very short period, and I had a very limited resource as a result. The world wars loomed large in my home as a child, and poppies had great significance. We visited the fields of northern France when I was 16 yrs old, and despite the intervening decades, the sense of profound loss and death was still tangible. It was a morning I will never forget.
