Kiwi and Feijoa with Lemons On The Crystal Plate

Inspired by an autumn walk through my garden during which I harvested kiwi fruit and lemons from my orchard. The composition evolved around the crystal plate, on loan from a dear friend, and the beautiful shadows and light reflections it creates . In the left hand top corner sits a Karin Engelien vase, and the piece is completed with feijoa from my neighbours little street stall.

This piece has been painted on smooth canvas which creates a beautifully delicate texture to the brushstrokes.

Dominika is an artist living in the Yarra Valley. Drawing inspiration from her garden and the beautiful surrounds, she has a particular passion for representing house plants, flowers and treasures from her various collections. 'I find inspiration everywhere and am influenced by nature, my garden, and the changing seasons. I find there is beauty in every stage of the life cycle, whether it be the closed bud of a flower, a deteriorated sea shell or an autumn leaf. My main challenge being that time is limited and of all my ideas, only some will find their way to paper! My art practice is my meditation, my connection to the earth, to my family, and at times it is all encompassing in the most beautiful of ways'.
