This work was painted en plein air in my garden in the Adelaide Hills. I have attempted to capture a detail of this most dominant Chinese lantern plant. I planted my Chinese lanterns in a row of 5 some years ago. They are very healthy and each plant must measure 2 metres in height. I painted with energy using the impasto technique. A textural work with a lush, high contrast palette. This artwork was painted on a gorgeous Summer's day. This painting should bring a sense of joy into any room. The painting has been created on a high quality stretched artist canvas, on a well constructed solid timber stretcher frame made by Elite Picture Framing, Adelaide.
