Sunday Shadows

Sunday Shadows

I love this cheerful piece. It was painted in my studio on a Sunday afternoon, the sun was casting long, lazy shadows on the wall. I've had these fragrant pear blossoms in an old amber bottle and the whole scene came together beautifully.

I believe art is imbued with the energy of the artist. This piece is cheerful, it was a joy using bristle brushes and thick paint. The oil paint is painted impasto style and is 3D in sections creating an interesting element to the piece.

** Please Note:
This painting is still in it's drying process. It wont be ready to ship until the 25th Feb 2020. When purchased I will provide you with updates and aim to post it out ASAP.

Katherine Warburton is an emerging Australian artist based in the rural town of Gordon, Victoria. Her work draws from the rich textures of country life, the natural world, and a deeply personal connection to sensory experience. In 2017, she was awarded the Grand Prize at the Trentham Art Exhibition. Katherine is an active member of the regional art scene through the Woodend Art Group and is currently Artist-in-Residence at GINGERELLA Studio. Selected works are also exhibited at The Little Gallery in Trentham, and her paintings are held in private collections across Australia, the United States, and Singapore.

Katherine is autistic, a reality that presents daily challenges but also offers a unique and vivid way of experiencing the world—something that profoundly informs her creative practice. Art has been a transformative force in her life, helping her build friendships, find community, and grow in confidence. She credits her local art network as being especially inclusive and encouraging.

In 2012, Katherine and her husband traded city life for a slower pace, settling on his late grandfather’s farm in Gordon. Their small studio backs onto the Wombat Forest, where kangaroos, wombats, and native birds regularly drop by—offering endless inspiration. With paintbrush in hand and nature just beyond the window, Katherine continues to create art that she hopes will bring a little joy to those who encounter it.
