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.

  • 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

Plam Garden I is the first panel of a triptych. I work in series and often paint up to 3 panels at a time. The panels were hung on a wall, and I painted Palm Garden I, II and III as one large work. Each painting works just as well as an individual piece or makes a stunning statement as a triptych. I adore palm trees and find them endlessly fascinating. Each year for the past 5 years, I have taken part in an online 100-day project. Each year, I draw for 100 days. In 2025, I drew the palm trees in our garden. By limiting my subject matter to a small section of the garden, I had to work hard on compositions but found something new for each of the 100 drawings.

I first visited Bermuda in the final term of my degree and was captivated by the palm trees. When I moved to the island, I worked on a series of palm etchings recording some of the 86 species of palm the island hosted.
