Eye Do – Hibiscus

Transparent watercolour painting with professional frame in limed oak on a floating mount in pale grey/blush 105 cm x 85cm x 2.5cm signed on the front.

I explore the exuberant beauty of tropical hibiscus blooms in the luminous qualities of transparent watercolour. The vibrant oranges, corals and golds radiate warmth and vitality, while the flowing petals create a sense of movement and individuality within each flower. Set against a clean white background, the blooms appear almost suspended like botanical species in light, allowing their delicate textures and intricate forms to become the focus.

In this work, I was drawn to the contrast between strength and fragility — the bold presence of the hibiscus flowers balanced by their fleeting, delicate nature. Careful layering of transparent washes allowed me to capture the soft transitions of colour and the velvety texture of the petals, while the fresh greens of the foliage provide harmony and balance throughout the composition.

Eye Do celebrates the joy, elegance and transient beauty found in nature, inviting the viewer to pause and appreciate the brilliance and individuality of each bloom.

Frame Guide

Fine Art Print on Canvas Or Paper

Museum quality giclee print, using latest Epson high end professional fine art reproduction printer and UltraChrome archival inks resulting in beautiful prints with rich and vivid colours. We use either 300 gsm premium canvas or 180 gsm matte archival art paper.

Shadow Box Floating Frame

Hanging wire pre-installed, arrive ready to hang.

Proudly hand framed in Melbourne.

We use 4.5 cm thick timber mouldings, made of sustainable hardwood.

To enhance the presentation, we utilize the gallery wrap technique, where approximately 1 cm of the canvas print is wrapped around the stretcher bars on each side, ensuring a seamless and polished finish.

A subtle 5 mm gap between the canvas and the frame creates a striking floating effect, giving the artwork a sense of depth and prominence.

The canvas is expertly stretched over a wooden stretcher bar and mounted within a shadow box floating frame.

Stretched Canvas

Proudly hand made in Melbourne.

Hanging wire pre-installed, arrive ready to hang.

We will remove any "white border" around the wall art, as the "white borders" are designed for framed artwork only.

Stretched and gallery or mirror wrapped around a 3cm wooden stretcher. No outside frames.

Framed Poster

Hanging wire pre-installed, arrive ready to hang.

Proudly hand framed in Melbourne.

We don't use traditional mat board. Some products come with "white border" effect, which is just unprinted area. We can custom make a print to add or remove the white border. You just need to leave an order note about it.
