Moonlight Serenade

“Moonlight Serenade” 76cm x 38cm Original Oil on Canvas

 Pippa’s inspiration for this painting: “The timeless beauty of courting swans reminds us of the power of love, and to both seek it and to share it with not only friends and family, but also the natural world and the creatures which inhabit it. The eternal elegance displayed as they glide effortlessly across the water, imbues all who look upon them with a sense of peace and tranquillity”.

Pippa paints directly from life and it has been her aim to produce paintings of high quality which adhere to the strict principles of the past masters, from the early Flemish schools and Italian Renaissance, to the European academic theories which remained in widespread use up to the end of the 19th Century. Using their often complex, techniques and methods and without losing her fundamental artistic vision she is able breathe life into the subjects by turning ordinary everyday objects into something beautiful.

With over 30+ years painting experience and over 100 awards and exhibitions both in Australia and internationally, Pippa promotes and dedicates herself 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, World Art Awards, 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.
