Myers and Thumbergia

$395.00

Acrylic on wood panel, 20 × 30 x 4 cm
Framed size: 22 × 32 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.

This white jug has featured in many still life paintings. I bought in Myers in Brisbane when we first came to live in Australia. I have always loved thumbergia, the deep rich violet with a jaunty yellow centre. They look great in the garden, however, they wilt really quickly as cut flowers so I had to be quick.
