Radiance - Original Painting
The Plantasia Collection: “Radiance" 12x16
“Radiance” enraptures and overwhelms you as you look up at fanning Pritchardia kaalae palm tree in Kew’s Garden Palm House.
I spent the whole day at Kew Garden’s and the Palm House holds my heart to this day, and I am still doing paintings to capture the glory of Kew’s Palm House. Housing tropical and sub-tropical plants from the depths of the rainforest, around every corner I was stunned by magnificent grand plants. With the morning light pouring through the windows, and the mist heavy in the air.
Looking up under the canopy of all of the tropical plants was electrifying, namely being under the canopy of this Pritchardia kaalae palm tree. The lacy seed pods, the glowing light from the glass houses windows up above, the noise of all the other plants overlapping in the background, and the vibrant green. A worthy sight to see.
When it came time to paint this image, I was very excited to paint all of the different textures going on; the smooth stems, the woody trunk, the glistening leaves.
Spectacularly lit, this painting has strong white light coming in from above, illuminating everything. In the background there are leaves of other palm trees, vines, and a column and arch of the glass house. With our subject matter, a Pritchardia kaalae palm tree, front and centre illustrating all of the elements of this tree.
I hope that this piece entices you to imagine yourself in a glass house from your own home.
This piece makes a wonderful diptych when paired with my “Luminous” painting, which I worked on simultaneously with “Radiance”. Together they sing and balance each other.
Created as a part of Plantasia Series. Learn more about this series, its inspiration, and sentiments that rooted my process, HERE.
