Contemplation

“Contemplation is a collection of still life pieces inspired by the beauty and calm of the familiar. Close surroundings contain all my collected and passed down treasures. Wandering through my beloved garden personally allows a presence and solitude. The result is a combination of elements that bring comfort and peace, feelings of which I particularly want to convey within my paintings. A blurred interior intentionally adds a further depth to the still life pieces, allowing the foreground to emerge, flowers bloom and all the often overlooked items, no matter how mundane, get their moment in the light.” Amanda Ogilby.
