My work has been highly influenced by the world of commercial art and graphic design. This translates to my art in many ways. My still life paintings are careful composition full of allegories, which capture a moment in time where all represented items are meaningful beyond the composition.
'BHellow Blossoms' is a still life that features red gumnut blossoms in and around a glass bottle. The glass bottle has the words 'Hello Blossoms - Gumnut Gardens' embossed on the front of the glass.
I have painted a series of these 'reworked' glass bottles as vases for flowers in many still life paintings.
This particular painting was finished just after the death of Barry Humphreys. I made a last minute decision to add 'Hello Blossoms' as a homage to the great Dame Edna.
