Artworks the Bluethumb Team are Adding to Cart
From sunny still lifes to bold portraits and nostalgic landscapes, our team’s latest art picks are a window into the styles, stories, and colours that speak to us most right now. Whether you vibe with Alexandra’s or Dom’s, each staff pick is personal, thoughtful, and uniquely Bluethumb.
Alexandra, Head of Art Advisory
“I’ve been loving still life artworks lately, so it’s no surprise they make up most of my picks! Daffodils are one of my favourite flowers, and Melissa’s arrangement reminds me of the bunches I buy from the farmers market. Veneranda’s tablescape also stood out to me as it feels nostalgic and reminiscent of family get-togethers. Having a personal connection to an artwork is really important to me.”
1 Coffee, Cannoli and a Nip of Centerba by Veneranda Russo Cornelio. 2 Geranium and Blue Pear by Bianca Harrington. 3 Sunshine in a Vase by Melissa Fraser. 4 Abstract Tidal Landscape by Elwood Moore.
Amy, Art Sales Consultant
“If it’s not obvious from this selection, I have a deep affinity for pink. From Jessica Davidson’s soft, dreamlike countryside to Michael Wolfe’s gestural interpretations of the Castlemaine region, I like seeing the land through rose-coloured glasses. On the flip side, I’m also drawn to a punchy pallet. And ultimately, whether a laneway or a wild hillside, one thing’s for sure: I’ll happily follow it… especially if there’s a good coffee at the end.”
1 Nanna by Robyn Kylie. 2 G’Day! by Cecile Michel. 3 All The Light of the Day III by Michael Wolfe. 4 Colorbond Playbook by Elizabeth S. 5 Flower Field no.2 by Jessica Davidson.
George, Bluethumb Co-Founder
“At the moment, I am drawn to bright, energetic, chaotic palette and form. My house is an explosion of kids’ toys, and so I think these works feel at home there.”
1 Love is the Message by Marisa Mu. 2 Standing Back by Andrew Neilan. 3 Kitchen by Kasia Frankowicz. 4 Spot the Apple by Donna Christie. 5 FLRWS by Adam Mannella.
Christina, Social Media & Content Manager
“I’m generally drawn to muted colour palettes, mundane subject matter, and portraiture, particularly figurative. One of the reasons I think art is so special is because it can turn even the most mundane objects into something really beautiful and eye-catching, like the chair and the washing line.”
1 The Renegade by Pete Conroy. 2 Small Nude Study by Tony Belobrajdic. 3 Art Living Room by Tracey Samios. 4 Hangin’ Around by Mike Banks. 5 Chair In My Studio by Tony Belobrajdic.
“Figurative art, particularly of women, has always spoken to me as a feminist. I love that art can strip the human body down to its most basic anatomical form, removing any sexualisation or expectation of what a body should look like. I’m also really attracted to the interplay of light and shadow in figurative art—how the curves of the human body seem to turn into rolling scenic landscapes.”
Kate, Customer Service Manager
“I’m drawn to art that reveals something new the longer you look—whether it’s a subtle detail in a portrait, a nostalgic scene brought to life, or a rush of movement that pulls you in. I love work that combines technical skills with a deeper story.”
1 From the Tate to St Paul’s by Neil Whalebone. 2 Night Street Scene I by Fangmin Wu. 3 Belladonna by Desiree Crossing. 4 Pentimento 4 by Loribelle Spirovski. 5 Surprise Me! by Cecile Michel.
“I particularly love portraits, and this one by Desiree Crossing is beautifully executed; the subject matter is what I look for in portraits, and while at first glance this image looks very feminine with a floral print dress, when you look closer, you see the leather around the neck and lip piercing. Your perspective on the work changes a little.”
Eden, Content Marketer
“When I choose artworks, I’m guided by nostalgia. I’m drawn to pieces that echo memories—like the straw flowers my sister and I gathered on family hikes in the Victorian High Country, or my mum’s collection of glass bottles found in op shops and forgotten places. Soothing blue tones and warm orange accents tie these fragmented moments together, creating a patchwork of comforting, distorted memories. Add a tulip, and my heart does a little happy dance.”
1 Queen of the Night by Sarah Frost. 2 Blossom Time by Beverley Tainton. 3 Karl Didee by Jessica Begg. 4 David’s Blue Jug and Bottle by Lisa Nolan. 5 Paper Daisy Still Life Study 2 by Vickie Liu.

1 Mr Olive Oil with Pomegranates by the Window by Tetyana Khytko. 2 Retro Jordan by Nick Geyl. 3 Yankirri Jukurrpa (Emu Dreaming) by Sabrina Nungarrayi Gibson. 4 The Art Show by Kellie Hummel.
Rachel, Senior Art Consultant
“Working out of Bluethumb’s Adelaide office and being a photographer myself, I’m naturally drawn to art that feels like a snapshot of home. Pansies by Anna Speirs has this gentle, nostalgic quality that reminds me of quiet moments, while Sunset Lounge by Bethany Lawrence captures that easygoing warmth at the end of a perfect day. I also love how Bush Flowers – Birramal Gurawin by Maria Watson-Trudgett and Cloudy with No Chance of Rain reflect our connection to the land—there’s so much beauty and quiet strength in those scenes.”
1 Sunset Lounge by Bethany Lawrence. 2 Coiled Pandanus Basket by Doreen Djorlom. 3 Bush Flowers (Birramal Gurawin) by Maria Watson-Trudgett. 4 Pansies by Anna Speirs. 5 Cloudy with No Chance of Rain by Alex Frayne.
