Summer Seranade I

$1,350.00

80×60×4cm

framed 82×62×7cm

Summer Serenade was painted as a diptych

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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • The float frame is hand-constructed,

  • 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

My art is bursting with exuberant colour and texture realised in acrylic on board. This piece is part of an extensive body of work, a response to a year-long artist-in-residence at a flower farm in Camp Mountain.

Through observational drawing, painting and photography on location, I recorded the farm cycle of preparing, planting, nurturing, harvesting, resting and replenishing, exploring the special sense of place that the farm exudes. I come from a family of keen gardeners, documenting the farm manifested people and places far from here, enhancing my sense of kinship.
