A Streak of Lavender by Alycia Lipovac

FREE SHIPPING, RETURNS & INSURANCE

The focal point of the painting is a lavender stem on top of which a bee sits. This is surrounded by more lavender and other flowers which appear to grow in a lush wildflower arrangement. In the background is first a patch of light grass, then two lavender fields. The colours grow darker as they recede. Behind the fields are more grassy hills spotted with trees, and finally some blue mountains deep in the distance. A cloudy sky sits above it all.

Artwork Description

Gouache on paper

Signed on the front.

I would like to use this painting to highlight the power of colour & the power of language.
To have "a streak of lavender" was once socially unfavourable, eventuating into a scare that saw gay men dismissed from government services and lesbians excluded from the feminist movement.
However, the phrase was reclaimed and in the 70s many lgbtq+ and women's marches included lavender sashes and t-shirts worn with pride.
Lavender as a term is now sometimes used interchangeably with rainbow or lgbtq+ to describe an event or space, as purple remains an important queer colour.

The background features a purple wash adorned with small transparent purple flowers and dark green/blue leaf shapes. In the center there is a pink/purple native lasiandra flower with small water droplets on its five petals. To the left, there are various leaves in different shapes and shades of green, along with two small black glossy fruits. On the right there is a blue tongue lizard, its body curved out from behind the flower, with its tongue sticking out toward it.

There are 7 small square paintings. There are a variety of subjects, one portrait of a man, two of a young woman (wrapped in a blanket & at the beach), water, a mug in a rainy window, a sunflower and hands slicing up an orange.

A young boy, man, and woman walk along a path that curves to the left. On the right, a clearing in the bushes reveals deep blue water and in the background, a row of houses runs along the riverbank. A small boat sits on the water and the sky is a pale blue.

A black and white portrait of Hayley Williams (Paramore).
