Precious Possessions

Beautiful stems of leucospermum, a species of Protea were the inspiration for this still life. My neighbour grows these bushes amassed in spring flowers, which were too irresistible not to add them with some of my most precious pieces in this artwork. The result is calming, yet with a dash of colour.
The piece is sold already professionally framed, in a beautiful Raw Oak with a white facing. This accentuates the white ceramics in the artwork.
Painted on a Professional artist stretched canvas with artist grade oil paint and lovingly protected with a coat of Gamblin satin varnish.
A gorgeous piece for your living room or dining area, or anywhere you choose.
This piece was initially painted in 2019 for an art award and I have decided to release it now for sale, as the award has been postponed until mid 2021 -I have enjoyed it for far too long!
