One for Later

You will feel happy every day when you look at this colourful painting of sugary sweetness. Are you into colour like me? I find I can manipulate the colours and shapes of lollies to create pleasing setups for Still Life. They have a great way of catching the light. This is a high value painting, meaning overall it has a lighter tones.
I also get to snack on the lollies as I paint. Yum!
This painting will look great anywhere in your home, maybe an activity room or child's bedroom. Being very contemporary, it would hang beautifully in a modern home.
If you like the style of this painting, but prefer one painted using different lollies, contact me for a commissioned piece.

Delma considers herself a Contemporary Botanic Artist. Traditionally, Botanical art is executed in watercolour or graphite, actual size with a plain background. Contrary to tradition she paints in oils, on canvas, in full saturated colour. The plant must be readily identified and is always larger than life, even though the work maybe a miniature. The subject is always ‘in situ’, in reference to the larger ecosystem. Delma always locates the subject in its natural habitat. Delma paints intricate detail to be true to the beauty of nature. She doesn’t paint impressions of flowers. It is her purpose to capture the reason for its existence and how it looks and survives and its interactions with other plants and animals. I want the viewer to be fascinated by the beauty and uniqueness of Western Australian flora and to consider the environment. I want them to see and feel what I did when I found that little orchid glowing in the sun and its petals fluttering in the breeze.Going out bush to isolated places in Western Australia inspires Delma works in pastels of Rural Life. Her Still Life studies enable her to work in her studio on the effects of light on everyday objects.
