Original Artwork, in Acrylics & Oils.
Approach, the first painting in Ann Richmond’s From Whispers to Wings triptych, introduces viewers to the quiet beginnings of inspiration as a young woman senses a hidden idea amidst a cloud of thoughts.
This piece draws you into the delicate initial stages of discovery, as a single blue butterfly—symbolising a quiet, elusive idea—rests within a lively cloud of monarchs, partially concealed from her gaze. An armoured mouse perched on her shoulder, holding a balloon shaped like a butterfly, represents her inner guide, gently urging her to sift through the babble to find clarity.
The composition’s soft tones and rich symbolism offer a refined layer of introspection, well-suited to any elegant setting. Here, inspiration appears in its purest, most elusive form, lending an atmosphere of serene contemplation to any space. Collectors will appreciate Approach as a gentle invitation to pause and reflect on the nascent stages of creative thought, infusing collections with elegance and meaning. This piece complements those who value the beauty in quiet reflection and the allure of uncovering hidden truths.
Throughout my journey as an artist, I’ve tried various surfaces & colours… From acrylics on boxed canvas to the refined oils on board I now employ. Each combination wields a distinct influence over the final outcome. Canvas imbues a rustic charm, its weave adding texture. For intricate details, only oil on board suffices, offering subtle nuances and unmatched ability to blend.
Yet, my attention extends beyond the artwork itself; the frames for Original Artworks hold equal significance. Through experience, I’ve learnt how a well-selected frame can elevate a piece, sometimes even reshaping its interpretation. Every choice, from canvas to frame, is a deliberate step towards crafting not just art, but an experience.
