PLENTY Twenty / Plenty 20
Welcome to the online bit of my SALA art exhibition for 2020! The in-person bit is at Mockingbird Lounge August 7 – Sept 3, 2020.
The collection of 12 paintings contains quite a few moments of fleeting yet undeniable beauty from lockdown.
Twelve Still Lifes
I think the idea that ” Still Lifes are peace and prosperity in miniature” is true, don’t you? My still lifes [that is the correct plural, by the way] are an acknowledgment of microcosms of delight … reflecting beauty in the everyday.
- Food is nourishment. You’ll note pears feature in this collection. A dicey time with health and diet has pears as my current primary fruit! I’m grateful, they are a great shape to draw, and their green colours so juicy! #pearappreciation
- Fortunately for us flowers – besides their biological function – bring joy to humans, too! Nasturtiums are one of my exuberant garden favourites, along with marigolds and small handfuls of daisies.
- Pattern – oh, the sheer delight! And the joy of colour, kindred spirit … Mmmm…
- Check out all twelve paintings – and their backstories – online here.
Take a piece of the exhibition home!
- An original painting will bring a unique, buoyant energy to your wall. Make one your own! Pictures are custom framed and your new artwork can be collected from Mockingbird Lounge after the exhibition.
- Companion calendars – a collection of the twelve exhibition images combined with 2021 dates, and quotes of goodness and individuality
- An exhibition pack of 12 cards to send your love
- If you can’t be at the exhibition in person for whatever reason, you can make a piece of it yours online (see below). Check out the pictures online here.

One-of-a-kind pictures will be available in July only on-line (see below) and in August only from the exhibition venue. This is so we don’t inadvertently sell a one-off item to two separate people. Check out the artworks online here.
However, calendars and cards – items there are multiples of – are available at both the exhibition and below until sold out.
