Rose, Flower Painting, Pointillism

This is Day 5 of Tracey's self-imposed 20-Day Painting Challenge for Mother's Day 2023.

No collection of floral paintings would be complete without a rose. So here it is. Tracey found a photo taken by another artist that she really liked. Just the look of the flower appealed to her. The soft petals fully open. Almost ready to drop and the beautiful variegated colours.

They are 10cm x 10cm (4” x 4”) and are all in a square, white frame. The frame can be either hung on a wall or placed on a desk/sideboard etc. as they have a stand at the back. Makes it easy if wall space is at a premium. Postage included.

This work is marked on the front with Tracey's unique symbol. It represents her initials and has been on every work since Tracey was a teenager. Her full signature is not on the front as it is too large for these miniature works. Instead, she has signed on the back and included a signed Certificate of Authenticity.

I am an Australian artist from a rural property outside Gloucester, NSW. I live in the foothills of the Gloucester Tops which is at the southern end of the heritage Barrington Tops National Park.

My style and subject matter wanders wherever the inspiration takes me. I love vibrant colours and the Australian light is wonderful.

I have had a passion for art all my life. However, as a child I struggled with stick figures, jealous of all the other kids who had no trouble at all. At 11, something clicked and I was, it seemed overnight, able to produce works I was both proud of and that others thought were pretty good. I still have the first painting that my primary school teacher loved. My first praise for art… ever.

As a teenager, I spent a large part of my time in class sketching my schoolmates. I still did quite well at school so I think for some of my subjects I must have absorbed information through osmosis!

For most of my adult life, art has taken a back seat to a few careers, kids, home renovations - you know the story. Mid 2013 (aged 55), I decided that if I didn’t start focusing on my art right now, it may never happen. So I dug out all my old equipment, joined Gloucester Art Society, and started painting.

I held my first exhibition in the Gloucester Gallery in February 2015 - ‘Tracey’s Colour My World’. My idea was to fill the gallery with colour and it worked. This exhibition was a great success exceeding my wildest dreams. It also reconnected me with that wonderful primary school teacher. Since I began painting steadily, I started to dream paintings, complete with titles. A number of these featured in my second ‘Tracey’s Dream Exhibition’. With paintings steadily selling, I have achieved finally achieved my childhood dream of being an artist. I hope you enjoy my art.
