Queensland Catkins and Makrut

$895.00

Acrylic on wood panel, 60 × 80 x 4 cm
Framed size: 62 × 82 x 7 cm

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.

This series was made for my solo show at The Churn Room in Dayboro in March 2025.

  • I paint in acrylic on a wood cradled panel

  • framed in meranti for a finished size of approximately 2 cm all round, larger than the panel size. Please ask for the exact dimensions if required

  • d rings and wire are attached to the back

  • The piece is ready to hang

  • 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.

  • hand-sanded and

  • then waxed.

  • 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

Queensland Catkins and Makrut Limes

60x80x4cm

The Weatheriggs jug features again and this time with blossom from eucalypts which grow on our block. They reminded me of catkins which were a signal of spring in the UK. My Mum Mary would have some in the Weatheriggs jug at home every year as a promise of better weather.

The Makrut limes, previously known as kaffir, are from a bush/tree which I inherited from my friend Paul when he rudely moved back to the UK. It has flourished in our garden.
