This painting is part of a series of still life works created during our official Covid lockdown in Sydney in March 2020.

This year has forced us to slow down and find joy in the basics we often take for granted. For me personally I felt and continue to feel so grateful to be living in Australia during this time.

We are so lucky to have clean water, healthcare, easy access to nature, fresh air, food grown here and amazing sunshine to help beat the blues. The natural light here is very different to grey and dreary England where I grew up. It’s easier to feel positive when the sun is shining even if you’re imprisoned in your own home.

My intention with this work was to capture the joy of all the glorious free sunlight that streams through the window of my studio. Bananas and Sunshine kind of sums up all you need to live a simple happy life really, and embodies the “Don’t worry be happy song” in a painting.

Framed in Australian Raw Oak.
