Two Pansies
CODE: P2308
SIZE: 2 panels 35.6 x 47.6 x 3.8cm deep
$688.00
I really enjoyed playing with the colours of these pansies. The background colour was created using high chroma intense colours mixed with white. I then added some pearl to create subtle lines which reflect at different times of the day. I then spent weeks layer upon layer, just as a real flower would form. Taking time for each layer to dry. Using a watery consistency, the colours beneath show through. The final layer a watery pearl to add some shine and to reflect the pearl. I didn't want the leaves to distract from the flower, so just used an outline.
Copper Dawn
CODE: 2501
SIZE: 60cm diameter
63cm diameter framed
$1288
Jeanene captures the tranquil moment when night yields to day, and the river becomes a mirror of molten light. The painting features a serene river scene bathed in the warm, metallic glow of sunrise, with rippling reflections in rich copper and grey hues. The surrounding landscape is gently silhouetted, allowing the radiant light to take centre stage. This piece explores the harmony between light and water, evoking a sense of stillness, renewal, and quiet awe.
