Graceful Magnolias

Graceful Magnolias Original Oil on Canvas 46cm x 92cm 

Pippa’s inspiration for this painting: “Magnolias are noble flowers symbolizing purity and perseverance in many cultures, qualities we strive to nurture within ourselves. Both its healing properties and bold flowers have been highly prized for thousands of years, while its delicate spring scent wafts gently upon the breeze, evoking distant memories of summers past.

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”.
