ByRob McMullan

60cm (W) x 50cm (H)

painterly and expressive brush work with mark making

A$820

painting of three beautifully made macrons on a purple and brown striped paper sheet. The sheet is crumpled so it adds texture and shadow. The three macrons are resting on each other, a purple , a bright peacock blue and an bright orange one all vying for attention of the viewer. the background is dark and in shadow to create a dramatic backdrop for the bright macrons. the painting looks realistic but of course it is a thousand times bigger than real size! the painting looks like a photo but if you look closely, you can see the almost abstract brushstrokes that create the detail!

A delicately illuminated still life painting of a blue-green glass vase, with a selections of freesias contained within. The vase sits atop a white oval shaped tray and sits in the centre of the landscape oriented canvas. On the right hand side of the vase is gently undulating folds of calico coloured fabric with a criss cross pattern. On the left hand side of the vase is a glowing yellow pear, with three pear slices beside it. In the background the tabletop gives way to a softy graduated background of a warm grey green. The top of a bentwood chair can be seen on the right behind the end of the table. The vase is backlit by a window out of view and glows with a turquoise halo. The pears and the flowers that are directly lit from the light behind, have a glowing haloed effect, giving the subjects a beautiful luminosity.
