Geraniums on a Book

I find that red always catches my eye in the garden, and going into Winter, the red Geraniums are about the only bloom which still has the courage to beat the odds against the frosts we have here in Tasmania.

I wanted the painting to feel bold, playful, and modern. The stripes almost work like a backdrop on a stage, letting the leaves and flowers really pop forward. I love how the primary colours bounce off one another, creating energy and warmth.

For me, it’s about taking something simple and every day — a flower from the garden — and turning it into something vibrant, joyful, and full of life.
