A Place in Time

$2,700.00

Acrylic on wood panel, 100 × 100 x 4 cm
Framed size: 102 × 102 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.

A Place in Time

Created as part of my 2023–2024 artist residency at The Acres, this painting is rooted in months of weekly sketchbook studies. I spent long hours drawing flowers in ink, adding crayon to capture the flicker of their colours. Those pages became a rich source of observational material, eventually blooming into this large-scale studio work.

Banana plants have been part of my artistic journey since the very beginning. Early in my career, I painted en plein air in Bermuda, setting up my easel among the local parish banana patches and working small-scale in gouache on paper.

When I first saw the towering bananas at The Acres, the connection was instant. I knew I wanted to draw and paint them again — but this time, on a grander scale. The experience felt like coming home, revisiting a subject I’ve loved for decades but with fresh eyes and a deeper understanding of place and time.
