This painting is part of a recent commission that began as reference to a personal landscape. Images supplied were not easy images tio work with as a starting reference. The first round of underpainting felt mediocre at best so at my second sitting I abandoned my original plans. Turning the panel upside down I instead created a composition more in keeping with my current studio focus.

This painting was created as 1 of 4 pieces for a recent commission.

Commissioned as a corporate retirement for a long time client. The client’s partner was the first to commission a work many years ago; A bouquet of white tulips as a gift for his wife.

I continued the tulip as a motif as I felt the abundant landscape was suggestive of a career that had touched the lives of many. It also inferred a full circle moment, endings and beginnings in a world where our only constant is change.

Wonder was inspired by an ealier much larger diptych, “Wonderland”. Half of this pair shipped across the country to Halifax, Nova Scotia, while the Right hand side is off for framing for a corporate client.

Wonderland continues to inspire me. It’s funny how a fresh look at particular details of an earlier iteration on a similar theme will initiate a new compositional journey in colour.
