My art explores the colour and form of Australian native flora - in this painting, eucalyptus leaves, gum nuts and gum tree blossoms in a classical botanical composition. I have also included a Ulysses butterfly - the bright blue is striking against the natural weave of linen.
 
Thick layers of gorgeous professional oil paint were applied with a palette knife and brushes, in harmonious earthy tones and muted purples and pinks. The negative space created by raw linen is the perfect backdrop, and the linen has been fully sealed and has the subtlest sheen.
 
If you are based in Victoria, you may like to see my paintings in person before making your purchase - I am located near the beautiful Trawool Estate (approx 90 minutes north of Melbourne) and often arrange to meet collectors there to show off my art. Just send me an email at evesellars@hotmail.com to arrange a suitable viewing time.
 
I have been a full time career artist for 3 years, and have enjoyed seeing almost 300 paintings find their home in that time. My portfolio is eclectic and I paint with numerous styles and colour palettes, but I always harness my love for the Aussie landscape and use that connection when I paint. I often paint outdoors on location and allow the weather or time of day to dictate the mood or temperature of my art. In many of my artworks you see here on evesellars.com, a photo of me and my “work in progress” will hopefully give you a little insight into my process.
 
I love hearing from collectors! Feel free to email evesellars@hotmail.com, and I’ll be happy to answer questions and provide more photos 😁
 
Best,
