Sweet Spring Scent

“Sweet Spring Scent” Original Oil on Canvas 122cm x 76cm 

Pippa’s inspiration for this painting: “Using the same methods I use for my still life’s, this artwork is multi-layered and hand painted from start to finish, bringing out the colours and sculptural form of the flowers. I love the beauty and the majesty of roses and the magnificent flowers they produce. They have long been held as symbols of purity and joy across many cultures and even being used in traditional folk medicine”.

Working with that which inspires me, I combine elements within the paintings that compliment and strengthen each other. With bold colour and a minimalist approach, all the elements are harmoniously bound by a strong single source of light that both illuminates and emboldens all that upon which it falls. I try to convey a sense of peace and serenity within my work, evoking a feeling of calm contemplation to all who look upon them, each of the elements containing their own deeper message and together bringing a message of hope, peace and relaxation.

With over 30+ years painting experience and multiple awards and exhibitions both in Australia and internationally, I promote and dedicate myself to the Old Master realistic techniques of art.

These awards and exhibitions include The Mall Galleries in London for Best Oil in Show and Finest Brushwork in Show, Christies in London, ARC Finalist, Art Excellence Awards, Best Realist Camberwell Art Show Melbourne, People’s Choice Awards, and many others. Also represented in print with Rosensteil’s London and Museum and Galleries, London, magazine covers Horse & Hound, and with several galleries both here and internationally.
