"Peony Study" by Julie Whitehead is a stunning original still life painting that exemplifies the artist's mastery of hyper-realistic technique. Set against a dark background, the focal point of the composition is an enlarged and intricately detailed pink peony in full blossom.
The delicate petals of the peony are rendered with remarkable precision, capturing their soft texture and subtle variations in color with astonishing realism. Each petal seems to unfurl before the viewer's eyes, evoking a sense of natural beauty and elegance.
Against the dark backdrop, the vibrant pink hues of the peony stand out with striking intensity, creating a captivating contrast that draws the viewer's gaze. The interplay of light and shadow adds depth and dimension to the painting, enhancing the sense of realism and lending a sense of drama to the composition.
Signed by the artist, "Peony Study" is a testament to Julie Whitehead's skill and expertise as a painter. It is a work of art that is not only visually captivating but also invites contemplation and appreciation of the intricate beauty found in nature.
This exceptional artwork is currently available for purchase at Signet Contemporary Art, Chelsea, as well as online for art enthusiasts to acquire and enjoy in their own homes.
Artist Biography:
Julie Whitehead is an artist based in Brisbane Australia, who specialises in the creation of original, exquisite and unique floral paintings. Julie was accepted into art school in Melbourne at the young age of 17 and went on to major in painting and drawing for the next four years. She left her 30-year pursuit of a successful chocolate business in the wedding industry to return her attention to a persistent passion for painting. She believes that she has simply transferred the love invested in one medium to another, and now boasts a range of heartfelt paintings. Julie predominantly works on large canvases as the overall impact of the intense floral colour engages the audience. She always works in the highest quality oils
acrylics. The creative process begins with photographing her floral subjects from many different angles
with varying light conditions. More recently Julie has turned to use a resin finish on some of her smaller works that have resulted in an impactful, stunning finish with gold and silver leaf accents. Flowers are also a symbol of love and are frequently given as a gift to express love, gratitude and kindness. Since practicing as a full time artist she has become internationally renowned and her work has appeared in many exhibitions. Her work has also been commissioned by private collectors from Australia and abroad.
“Art has always been an integral part of my life tapestry weaving through life’s journey. My art explores the connecting behaviour of energy, beauty, love, strength, colour, movement
integral to all of it is heart. I adore floral, especially peony’s, cherry blossoms, orchids, roses
more recently water lilies. Painting them gives me great happiness
I get really excited to delve into them on canvas. Peony’s take me back to my childhood days of classical ballet
remind me of sequined tutus. They have multiple layers of petals
intricate centres. Its not only the beauty
complexity that attracts me to these extraordinary florals, it’s a memory. I want my floral work to evoke an uplifting emotion. Peony’s also remind me of us as humans with our multiple layers. Each layer is different
complex. All my floral works have special meaning to me
reflect some of the travels I’ve enjoyed. It’s all about experiences. Like travelling to Japan to photograph cherry blossoms. Such an amazing time
the whole country dedicates festivals to these special blooms. The Chelsea flower show in the UK is where I photographed thousands of roses. Quite overwhelming to see roses cascading everywhere. Heading to Monet’s garden in France to photograph his lily pond was an unforgettable experience. I have always wanted to paint his lilies. I love working on large canvasses as the overall impact is so much more intense
engaging. They take on a life of their own. I love that I can produce beautiful works of art that clients love
purchase to exhibit in their homes; places of work.” – Julie Whitehead
