Artwork Description

Textured, impasto painting in my 'Unpopular Penguin' series. Painted sides, ready to hang without framing.

'The Odyssey' is the second oldest surviving book in western literature, the archetypal story of man and the sea. My paintings take their inspiration from classic books, and I've given this particular painting a sense of the sea and of antiquity, with the washes and the text dissolving and streaking.

“I have purchased 2 paintings by artist Little Heath. I love the colours and spontaneity of the works, and they look great on the wall. I also appreciate the story the artist provides about each painting. Shopping through Bluethumb takes the risk out of purchasing art on-line;”

“The real talent here is the artist Marnie McKnight, and Bluethumb provided the platform for me to know she existed and find this wonderful piece that looks just perfect on my bedroom wall. For their part Bluethumb were professional to deal with and responded in a timely manner to my enquiries when I was confused to receive an email saying my painting had been sent to Melbourne (this was for the requested framing as it turns out!). I would definitely consider using them to find new artists in future.”
