Gold leaf taupe ‘blossom branch’ acrylic painting with FINISHED result
Here’s my neutral ‘Blossom branch’ painting finished with Gold Leaf.
Even though my artwork is usually bright and colourful, I’ve enjoyed creating this calmer feeling blossom piece.
This acrylic painting is full of warm taupes, champagne, cream and golds, finished with an added touch of gold leaf to really give it a decadent luxurious feel.

To give you a little background, I started painting originally for stress relief and therapy when I suddenly started having seizures 3 months before I was due to graduate from a Physiotherapy degree! My whole life turned upside down as you can imagine. But I believe ‘Everything happens for a reason’ and I couldn’t imagine my life without my art now.
In 2018 I was discovered by a Publisher, Artko Ltd, who supply framed prints of my work to shops throughout the UK. My bestselling pieces are my ‘Love Trees’.
My work is currently in various shops including John Lewis and Dunelm and links to these can be found below…

Here’s my bright and happy Sunflower painting. I usually prefer more ‘abstract’ flowers rather than ‘formed’ as I call them….

    Your work is magnificent and very inspiring. What type of sponge did you use to apply your varnish? I always have difficulty applying it, I make huge canvases and the brushes sometimes make bubbles or lines. and I never thought of putting the gold leaf on top of the varnish. when I apply it, I don't varnish because it dulls their shine but with your technique, I have the best of both worlds. Thank you, I am very happy to have discovered your talent through your channel, from a new subscriber from Montreal.

    How is your journey with your love for art I'd love to hear Your Story❤ All your pieces are absolutely beautiful I'm sure I could never afford them. I keep trying to replicate but they're not anywhere near yor artistry..... I don't have a craft room I craft and paint on my small kitchen table in my small little condo.... I wish I had space to go ahead and do all those splatterings but I just don't..... So I'll just live vicariously through your artistry I guess😅🥰❣⚘
