A great big bunch of stylised chrysanthemums in a Japanese vase. The flowers glow against a dark blue background that complements the celadon Japanese vase. Afternoon tea by the beach hardly says it all! The whole scene is painted in the smallest detail, the little cakes with their glacè cherries, the buildings of the little coastal town below, with little pencil-pines and garden fences, and is that washing on a line . . ? An unfinished afternoon tea lies on a little table, but the tea in her cup must have gone cold by now -- what is she thinking about? She's miles away. He has perhaps found something to get his attention, or is he carefully looking for something? We shall never know, because all of that is somewhere outside the scope of the picture, leaving these two as an enigma you can solve any way you choose!A visual feast of contrasting patterns and colours brought together by a vase of summer flowers in the centre. The background is a monochrome view of a classic European Patio- or is it? Where is the wallpaper hanging and where in the room is the little table on which the vase is placed? So many visual puzzles, yet the whole is a riot of colour and pattern that would light up any corner of a home! I imagined this as a sort of hommage to Henri Matisse, who is the master of contrast, colour, and joy!A hilly landscape leads down to a river in which a driftwood tree-trunk sits on a sandbank. The hills are a patchwork of beautiful colours, that are intriguing to look at in their own right: golds, yellow, some purple and mauve, all sunlight and shadow, whilst the sky is the deep blue one sees in some parts of Australia in the Summer and Autumn. A river slides by, reflecting the hills above, and interrupted in places by a sandbank in the foreground on which a fallen tree has lodged, perhaps in a recent flood? It's all for the imagination!
