Lon Calendulas

‘Lon Calendulas’ captures the calendulas at Lon Retreat & Spa in Point Lonsdale. This little gouache flower study is freely painted with lyrical mark-making. The golden flowers are depicted unarranged in their natural garden setting, from a close vantage point. The dark background emphasizes the flowers, buds and foliage and helps to create a pleasing composition. I hope this joyous painting celebrating nature’s beauty, will make the viewer feel good!
