These original paintings by Jill Booth are developed as series of panels.
Jill (that's me!) has always been interested in developing original paintings into series which tell about various aspects of a subject. The advantage to a buyer of this method of working is that the artwork may then be grouped within a room or scattered, bringing a sense of repetition, harmony and flow to the decor.
Sometimes, in the past, double sided paintings or silk panels have been designed especially for furniture screens. Some artists throw their hands up in horror at the thought of using the colour and design within paintings to accentuate elements of a living space.
However, Jill is happy if her artwork enriches people's daily lives in some way, so if her work is seen as "decorative" as well as "deep and meaningful", that's fine!

Most days I walk along a stretch of famous Four Mile Beach in Port Douglas.
Here the jungle comes right down to meet the Coral Sea. Depending on whether the tide is high or low there is either a narrow strip of white beach or a very wide area, extending out to where the ocean breaks on the reef!
The following observation was made at high tide!
These original paintings are also available as giclee reproductions.
"Foreshore, Four Mile Beach" - quadtych - oil on canvas - $2,850
For years I lived in the Mowbray Valley. a ten minute drive from Port Douglas. Apart from the heat of noon, there seemed to be constant sound and movement from the forest animals and birds; strange slithering and crashing, hooting and wailing would punctuate the still night air. Before first light the "dawn chorus" would begin. Rarely an early riser, I would mutter "Oh, do shut-up!" and cover my ears. The twittering and carolling, serenading and screeching would continue for much of the day. By late afternoon in the Wet season, this might culminate in drunken staggering and shrieking of gaily plumed lorikeets, who had imbibed a little too freely from the fermenting nectar of umbrella flowers or ripe mangoes!
"Tropical Birds" - quadtych - oil on canvas - $2,700
Walk along Four Mile Beach, Port Douglas, on a fine day. There's not a cloud in the sky, but a haze hovers over mangroves and mountains to the south and out to sea.Screw up your eyes and the ocean becomes a semi abstract pattern of blues, with strips of reef showing browny-purple against the shimmering water and sky. A lazy wave forms and flops on the sandy beach, then recedes with a hiss and rattle of tiny shells.
These original paintings would look good with a narrow "box" frame
"Four Mile Beach" quadtych - oil and acrylic on canvas - $3,100
