March Still Life : Natives
A large still life painted from life in my garden studio.
Painted in acrylic on 3mm ply. The ply is then panelled and custom-framed in a meranti hardwood, float-style frame
The painting is finished with 3 coats of glass medium, which is then sealed for a soft satin finish.
Finishing the piece in this way reveals the vibrant colours and multiple layers of texture and pattern.
In 2026, I am making an A1 still life painting each month. In March, I treated myself to a native bouquet. Buying flowers can now be treated as a business expense, which makes me happy.
I added vivid pink eucalyptus blossoms from a local park.
