Soft Centres Roses

This small painting depicts a simple yet elegant still life of a floral arrangement in a glass vase.
The bouquet features a harmonious blend of roses in varying hues: Deep crimson red, soft peach, and creamy white. The flowers are rendered with painterly expressive strokes, giving them a lush, almost velvety texture.
The background is a muted gray, which helps to draw attention to the vibrancy of the roses without distraction. The glass vase is depicted with subtle transparency and reflections, showcasing careful attention to light and form.
Overall, the composition feels intimate and timeless, exuding a quiet beauty and classical refinement.

Based on Coochiemudlo, a smaller island situated approximately a kilometre off the coast of Queensland, between Brisbane and North Stradbroke Island, Millie, an award winning artist, is innately influenced by the abundance of foliage and wildlife that inhabit her locality.
Unbound to a sole medium or creative methodology, her depictions align with the subject’s intrinsic elements and resonance. Millie paints in a way that depicts her thoughts and feelings of the subject, which has helped her tremendously throughout her adult life and experiences.
“There is no grief as you embrace and involve yourself deeply within the subject of your painting,” Millie states after the passing of her only son in 2003. “Painting was a lifesaving form of comfort at the time of my son’s passing, and continues to be up to the present moment.”
Millie possesses a BA in Fine Arts from Charles Sturt University and a Masters in Art Therapy from the University of Queensland.
