Painted from life, this piece is from my "Nanna Series" of flower paintings. The conceptual challenge is to make a work that would please or delight the average Australian Nanna!

Bluethumb's top-selling artist Katie Wyatt recently awarded this piece the Balco Art Prize Most Outstanding Still Life Award and said of the work...
"This piece stood out to me as a highly technical piece executed by a very experienced hand. It has the feel of a work by one of the Dutch Old Masters. It takes risks with the composition - setting the vase back to allow the reflections in the mahogany table to enhance the foreground. I love the texture in the blooms and the difficult angle of perspective has been painted really well. A very successful still life work."
