Sold - Part Two

Continuing on from the blog post, Sold - Part 1, I am continuing to share paintings that I have sold over the years prior to the creating my website. In Part 1, I shared Aboriginal artworks that I had sold over the years. In this post, I want to share sold pieces in my original curved linear design. It's still my original style and still a popular one among collectors, friends, and family. 

My first ever commission piece. I thought it would be the best painting to start this post. My friend fell in love with the colours in one of the first small experimental paintings I did. She immediately "can you do these colours but bigger?". This is the first painting I ever sold.

Loved the bright colours on the black background. It was my first time trying black. A combination I don't do very often in this design.

My second commission piece. The only instruction was to use the ochre red. Still a favourite and haven't gone back to this colour (not yet).

I donated this piece to a fundraiser our hospital ran at one of its gala dinners. Multiple artworks were donated to raise money for the local Women's Shelter. One of my bosses chose this painting when her number was called. She proudly ran to the front yelling "I want Jean's". She took this it home and proudly hang it above her desk at the centre of other small art pieces she owned.

Another donated piece. It was a gift to a supervisor and mentor who invested a lot of time and energy nurturing me as a junior doctor when I really needed it. Medicine can be hard and good mentorship and supervision is actually hard to come by. Even more so when your mentor believes in you. Their mentorship means a lot to me even after all these years. They were absolutely floored when I gave them this piece. It was hung proudly in their office until they moved interstate and now hangs in their new home.

Honest chats about this one. This is a piece I painted on the floor of my bedroom in a big share house I lived in during internship. I painted it between ED shifts. Shiftwork is something else and honestly not something my body adapts to well. I am dreading going back to shift work in one week. I called this Wibbly-Wobbly-Timey-Wimey (from Dr Who) because that is absolutely what life felt like while working in ED.

Colours of country. A colour combination I have used many times over the years across different styles.

The first red piece I did and red is still one of my favourite colours to paints.

This blue painting and the red one below were commissions from a friend of mine. The only instructions were two pieces of the same size, blue and red. The only follow-up was asking if she wanted me to use opal dust. Of course, her answer was 'yes'. Hence the shine you can see at the top of the canvas.

I have tried to replicated this painting and I can't. The red with hints of purple and orange are absolutely divine. I'm glad this painting went to someone special. It is truly my favourite.

An experimental piece. I haven't done many of my linear work with dots. I think only four in total. This painting went all the way to New Zealand.

Another painting that I think was sent overseas by a friend. It's one that feels more gentle and smooth. I really wanted the yellow to stand out in this piece.

This painting breaks my heart. It was brought by a dear colleague/friend who tragically died on an overseas holiday in 2024. I haven't had the heart to reach out to the family to see what they did with it. It might be time to-repaint it.

Love a good rainbow. Called this one Colour Order.

Sometimes things need to be a little crooked and more wavy.

Maroon. Another favourite where the deep violet background making the colours pop!

I have sold more of this style over the last five years than I realised. I like painting this way. It brings me so much joy. There were times in the early days of painting when I would remember dreams I had while I was paintings. That's how absorbed I was. I could disappear into a canvas, allowing the curves and the colours to guide me. My plan is to get back into this style completely to nurture and develop it. I can't wait to see what else I will produce in the coming years.
