Stylish, whimsical, and full of character, Boopsie Daisy is a delightful new painting by Lucia Heffernan. The piece features a white bunny donning oversized black flower sunglasses and a chic black-and-white bow perched on her head. Set against a stark black background adorned with loose, hand-painted white daisies, the composition is simple yet striking—allowing the subject's personality to shine through.

This bunny is more than cute—she's confident. Lucia's signature touch transforms the character into a stand-in for unapologetic self-expression and playful individuality. It's classic Heffernan: technically masterful and emotionally resonant, wrapped in a humorous, fashion-forward package.

Featured Artwork: Ascending Lark? by Tony South https://bit.ly/3RG9Lni

Ascending Lark? by Tony South invites viewers to reflect on the age-old concept of "original sin" with a contemporary twist. Inspired by Michelangelo's Original Sin and Expulsion from Heaven, South questions whether this idea still holds relevance or if it is, in fact, "an ascending lark"—a whimsical, unserious interpretation of the divine.

At the heart of the piece stands a striking image of a dog, evoking the symbolic role of the snake from the biblical narrative. The dog is juxtaposed with a lush cloche of flowers, representing the Garden of Eden in all its innocence and temptation. Above it all, the ascending lark—an emblem of ascent and hope—dominates the composition, drawing the viewer into a contemplation of sin, redemption, and spirituality.

The oil painting, created using South's signature method of layering glazes over a white acrylic underpainting, highlights his mastery of color and depth. The vibrant hues, coupled with his careful attention to form and detail, make Ascending Lark? an evocative and visually compelling piece, rich with symbolic meaning.

Featured Artwork: Eleven by June Stratton https://bit.ly/3YbBz6L

June Stratton's Eleven is a captivating mixed-media painting that blends realism and symbolism in an immersive, three-dimensional form. At its heart is a graceful young woman, raising a luminous blue-green orb above her head—a striking symbol of nature's strength and nurturing power. Within this orb, a delicate acorn sapling emerges, embodying regeneration and hope.

Intricately cast jasmine vines—sourced from the artist's own garden—wind around the figure, representing the deep interconnectedness between humanity and the natural world. These vines are sculpted from tuf-stone and painted to mirror real jasmine, adding a tactile depth to the piece. The addition of 23K gold leaf infuses the panel with a quiet reverence, elevating the message of preciousness in nature's fragile beauty.

Eleven showcases June Stratton's ability to merge materials and meaning into a seamless visual experience. Crafted using oil, tuf-stone, and gold leaf on panel, the work is both technically masterful and emotionally resonant. The result is a multidimensional invitation to reflect on the cyclical nature of life and the quiet strength of the earth.

Available Now: Whispers of Elysium by Anne-Marie Zanetti https://bit.ly/3Rv5qn2

Today's featured work is Whispers of Elysium by award-winning Australian artist Anne-Marie Zanetti—a lush, layered painting that blurs the line between figure and flora in a deeply soulful way.

In this piece, a blonde female figure emerges from the shadows of blooming dahlias and roses. Her direct blue gaze meets yours, her presence quiet but powerful, adorned with red-painted nails and a butterfly ring—delicate details that hint at both femininity and metamorphosis.

Anne-Marie shares:
"I've always loved painting flowers and the human form, so with this piece, I wanted to explore how the two could come together in a way that feels seamless—where you're not quite sure where the petals end and the figure begins. My passion for colour really comes through here; I built up the surface using layers of nuanced, yet still vibrant, glazes to express the mood and energy of the work."

There's a quiet alchemy at work in Whispers of Elysium—a merging of stories, experiences, and emotional depth that invites the viewer to pause, to linger. It's a painting that reveals itself slowly, offering new discoveries with every glance.
