'Ruby Petal Portal' by Abbey Merson

'Ruby Petal Portal'
 
An original artwork by Hastings artist, Abbey Merson.
Painted in 2024 for my first NZ Art show collection.
 
My Petal Portals are glimpses into secret gardens - windows to special moments from the past. Rember those lovely evenings spent with loved ones on the porch, admiring your hard work as the sun sets, or the joy of playing in your grandmother’s garden among the blooms, playing hide and seek and picking petals for potions.
 
Each piece is made with love and care, creating a beautiful keepsake that connects you to your happiest memories.
 
This particular one is named ruby after the gorgeous colours of these particular blooms. They almost seem to glow.
 
Explore my collection and find your own Petal Portal, or get in touch for a custom set of blooms.
 
Painted using Winsor & Newton Professional acrylics on a wood panel.
Framed in a wobbly oval - in a beautiful sage green.
The frames are made specially for each portal, by the talented Wallace Studio in Wellington, NZ.
 
I have no doubt that this portal will last your lifetime.
It measures approx. (due to wobblyness) 350mm x 500mm.
It is 3cm thick, and has been coated in a UV protective varnish.
 
It will arrive to you ready to hang or gift to a loved one.
