Description: A captivating original oil painting by Elvic Steele, titled ‘Garden Lights’. This intricate and colorful composition bursts with energy, featuring overlapping organic shapes and delicate lines reminiscent of dappled light filtering through a vibrant garden. Shades of deep greens, blues, pinks, and yellows are layered with dynamic brushstrokes and accents of orange and red, creating a sense of depth and movement.
The interplay of light and dark in this painting reflects Steele’s fascination with nature and abstraction, as glowing forms emerge from the background, capturing the feeling of illuminated foliage at twilight. The dotted highlights and meandering lines further add to the work's surrealist quality, inviting the viewer to lose themselves in its complexity.
Perfect for collectors of surrealist or abstract art, ‘Garden Lights’ serves as an enchanting centerpiece, offering both vibrant color and rich texture. Ideal for modern or eclectic interiors, it embodies the harmony of nature’s beauty and artistic imagination.

Elvic Steele
Elvic Steele was British female artist who grew up in the countryside and developed a lifelong passion for nature. She became an experienced biologist and botanist as well as a keen gardener. Her interpretation of plants in her art, the attention to detail reveals the depth of her knowledge of nature. Steele spent all of her adult life teaching in various schools near her home in Essex. In 1946, she was awarded a sabbatical to attend the East Anglian School of Painting and Drawing at Benton End in Suffolk, run by Sir Cedric Morris. It was in Morris' garden at Benton End that she found a great deal of her inspiration and continued studying and painting there until the 1970s. Steele's work was regularly shown at the Colchester Art Society Exhibition and she also had a solo exhibition in 1960 when she was in the Isles of Scilly. On returning to Great Dunmow in Essex in 1963, she took evening classes at the Dunmow Art Group meetings. There, she exhibited in the Art Group's Exhibition and in villages in the district. Whilst living in Royal Leamington Spa (1984-88) she had two solo exhibitions at the Royal Spa Centre and also showed at the Leamington Spa Art Gallery and Museum. At this time, she also sent a number of paintings to the Benton End Group Exhibition in Essex.
