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.
Goodbye Lot 20 is a series of still-life paintings I created in mid-2025 as we packed a large studio and home to move after 14 years. I painted the flora of our garden and paddocks partly as a sanity exercise and a break from the packing boxes. The vessels used were either heirlooms or had been used in student exercises during my art classes in the shed.

The jug from Myers features in this piece. The flowers are from an enthusiastic succulent. It flowers with masses of shell pink teardrop blossoms. In Bermuda there were some roadside flowers called floppers, and these reminded me of them. The leaves are really interesting and I have drawn them many times.
