Weatheriggs and Rainbow Beach

$2,100.00

Acrylic on wood panel, 90 × 90 x 4 cm
Framed size: 92 × 92 x 7 cm

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 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.

Weatheriggs and Rainbow Beach – Acrylic on Cradled Ply Panel, 90 x 90 x 4 cm

This painting is part of my new still life series created for my solo show A Sense of Self. Each object in the series carries memory, emotion, and connection, acting as a physical embodiment of identity. These works reflect lives lived in other places and times, speaking of familial ties and the journey of who we were, who we are, and where we have been.

Weatheriggs and Rainbow Beach weaves together personal and familial history. The brown jug is a classic piece from Weatheriggs pottery, once belonging to the Watson family, whose connection to my mother’s wartime childhood in Kirkoswald remains strong. The small white jug, bought on Rainbow Beach, carries the warmth of Queensland sunshine and childhood memories of camping at Innskip Point. Together, they bridge distant places and generations, reflecting the delicate tension of a life lived across worlds, with parts of the heart left elsewhere.

Painted in acrylic on cradled ply panel, the work is unframed and ready for display, capturing layered textures, colour, and the quiet resonance of memory.
