September Orchid

Every September my Dad brings over some orchid stems from his garden. I love the colours through the blooms and the poise of the stems... so dramatic. They were also a main flower in my September wedding years ago, so they feel significant for me.

This is a really simple, sketched depiction of the flowers; light and loose, created during a fairly bleak time of lockdown #6.

Sepia toned ink outlines the flowers, with simple watercolour shading.

It would be best framed very simply with white mat board, and white or light oak frame.
It has a partner on the way. This is an original piece, and may have a print run in the future.

Hi, I'm Giulianna; thanks for stopping by!

I've always loved drawing since childhood; on paper, wood, bricks, anything I could get my hands on! Drawing underpins whichever medium I'm using at any time, from ink and wash sketches to larger soft pastel works, and acrylic painting. Apart from drawing, colour use is a strength through all mediums and I find a lot of joy in it.

My inspiration has, and will always come from nature; gardens, flora, landscapes, skies, rocks and foliage.

Aside from art, I use colour and form in my Interior Design practice which I have run for 15 years; and I also commission Bluethumb art for my clients!

I live with my young boys, hubby and Truffle the cat in Banyule Victoria - Wurundjeri Country.
