Spring Follows Winter

I took much pleasure sailing up this grand Fjiord. The quaint little cabin I found hiding in a little village and felt I wanted to marry the two together for somewhere magical you'd want to spend your days.

This painting was created over many sessions. The surface that you see has been built up in several layers, leaving marks and splashes visible. The surface is oil paint, with many spatters and signs of overpainting and reworking. Please note that the edges of the canvas are painted, and it is ready to hang without framing.

Leoni Hines (born in Brisbane) now living in Maitland (just out of Newcastle), is an artist working predominantly in oils.

She can’t remember a time when art wasn’t a part of her life, growing up drawing and painting then studying under an incredible art teacher during high school years, helped develop her creative side.

Having a curious & loving relationship with colour and light, she is inspired by the Australian landscape with its ever-changing light and hues. Photography has also played an important part in her creative process capturing moments in time that can be used as a reference or idea for a painting.

Every painting she does contains a piece of her, her heart and soul. She may start off drawing what she sees, but inevitably ends up painting what she feels. She wants people to look at her art and feel the emotion that she has worked into it.

If they do, then she has been successful.
