Coastal Poppies with Indigo Fondue

'Coastal Poppies with Indigo Fondue ' is the statement painting you've been searching for. Organic drips in indigo, white and ochre contrast against a navy blue background. Highly textured petals are applied with a palette knife and embellished with silver enamel paint to catch the light, they will glimmer from across the room. Naomi's signature brushstrokes are evident in the sinuous stems of this large original work. Make sure it has a light source nearby at night for added drama and effect with the reflective silver details.
Naomi Crowther's studio is on the Far South Coast of NSW and takes cues from coastal gardens as inspiration for this artwork. Naomi has been chosen as a 2026 Bluethumb Rising Star.
