Gentle Downpour

A state of stillness and calm held within; a sense of freedom from storm or disturbance. A momentary pause between actions.

This painting was built up layer by layer in oils, working from a monochromatic under-painting through to delicately applied layers of colour and fine detail. The canvas is framed in a minimal and neutral raw Tasmanian Oak float frame, it is equipped with a wire and ready to hang.

This piece is currently on display as a finalist in the 2019 City of Stirling Art Awards. Please feel free to get in touch with me if you would like to secure this piece during the exhibition.

Casey Thornton is a figurative realist oil painter from regional Western Australia, with a keen interest in the techniques used by the old masters. Her keenly observed and highly detailed works aim to capture an authentic representation of the world, and invite a quiet moment of pause, introspection and welcome respite from a constantly ‘switched on’ world.

Thornton studied a Bachelor of Humanities (Fine Art) at Curtin University, and in recent years has studied at The Art Academy in Adelaide. Her artworks are held in private collections across Australia and overseas, and one piece has been selected for inclusion in ‘The Nova Collection’ lunar time capsule.
