Lily growing in a field by the sea — Fine Art

Lily growing in a field by the sea - 1927 shows a single flower stem with open blooms standing in grass near blue water and a pale sky. The paint is laid in visible strokes, with greens and soft yellows against the sea tones.

The fine art print goes straight onto a nail. Grace Cossington Smith worked in modern Australian painting, often painting flowers and bright outdoor scenes. The white frame gives the picture a clear edge on the wall, so the bright flower and the blue sea sit apart from the surrounding paint.

You might hang it in a reading corner where the morning light falls across the blooms. From the chair you notice the open petals first, then the stroke on the grass.
