So this is large, and that marigold changes in the night and day to different hues. 130x150cm. Using the human form is a grounding or a base for me in paintings, to level out the eye and ease strength in colour sometimes. ‘ Two flower pots’ #contemporarypainting #clairekirkup #clairekirkuppainting #abstractfigurative #abstractart #marigold #contemporarypainting

Thank you to all of my nearest and dearest, and Art appreciating lovelies for attending the extremely fun opening night at @studiogallerymelbourne on Friday night 🤗 What a night?!! Wow. Some photos here before it got so crowded you couldn’t even see the Art on the walls? Such a great energy that night. I just wish I could have stayed longer to look at all of the works that were so beautifully done, and put together so well by the Gallery. #clairekirkup #clairekirkuppainting #abstractart #figurativeart #studiogallerymelbourne #figurativepainting #abstractfigurative #openingnight #largeabstract #framedabstract
