Velvet and Leather

$890.00

Oil on stretched canvas, 60cm wide x 90cm high. Ready to hang unframed.

As we spend more time snuggled in our homes in midwinter, I’m drawn again to the ancestral home for we ground-dwelling mammals: the forest floor.

Here, the tangles of undergrowth protect countless burrows, nests and hollows for the wombats, potoroos, bandicoots, possums, birds and many more - all making a cosy space and prepping for fresh starts and babies in the spring.

Midnight blue - the colour of endless night skies and deepest oceans - seemed the perfect foundation for a wintry world to take viewers deep within, where all those magical places can be found. The genesis of this piece was in fact a dark blue velvet couch decorated with brown leather cushions.
