Spring – oil painting by Rona Barugahare

A friend of mine suggested the idea of this series – inspired by the different seasons. I used it as an opportunity to play on some little canvases, creating pieces taken from my life. My favourite thing about these was my first experimentation with fine glitter over the oil paint, creating a magical effect at certain angles.

Summer – a bushfire rages hard…

Autumn – the spectrum of falling leaves, with colours inverse of the temperatures.

Winter – a vast vista of snow atop the Tongariro mountain range.

Spring – the jacaranda and illawarra flame tree make for brilliant natural decor, every time!

These pieces were on display at the wonderful Petite Pieces exhibition at Aspire Gallery last month!
