White camellias from the garden, freshly cut and luminous, spill from a battered teal pottery jug — worn and well-used, the kind of vessel that has earned its place. Behind them, the background deepens from violet to the darkest teal green, dramatic and still.
Beneath it all, a favourite quilt spreads its familiar softness — white ground scattered with eight-point stars in lemon and canary yellow, that ancient symbol of wisdom and the four stages of life rendered here in the cheeriest of palettes. This is a quilt that lives on the bed, not behind glass.
And perched among the folds is a yellow thornbill. One of Australia's tiniest birds, barely 9cm long and formerly known as the 'little thornbill', this bright-bellied eastern native darts acrobatically through the upper canopy gleaning insects from leaves and bark with quick, restless energy. To find one sitting still is a small gift.
This is a large work in oil on stretched canvas, sold unframed and ready to hang.
