This original floral painting by Sally West showcases lush impasto blossoms in a textured, abstract bouquet—ideal for collectors seeking expressive contemporary flower art with rich oil paint technique. Using her signature palette knife style, West builds each petal and leaf with thick, dynamic strokes, blending soft pastels with vibrant reds, blues, and greens. The composition feels both spontaneous and refined, offering a joyful and tactile celebration of nature in full bloom. What makes Sally West’s original oil paintings so recognizable is the combination of texture, abstraction, and calming colors. The movement of the paint strokes on canvas is reminiscent of a light breeze or waves. Each painting is completed in one day, with the date present in the title. West's pieces take at least eight weeks to completely dry. Once dry, the thick paint takes on an almost sculptural effect. Overall, West’s color palette is uniquely her own, conveying a very specific feeling of comfort associated with familiarity and softness. This one-of-a-kind 16 inches tall by 20 inches wide artwork is painted with thick, textural oil paint on canvas. It is wired and ready to hang. It is signed by the artist on the front lower right corner as well as the back. The sides of this artwork are painted, and it is ready to hang. Convenient local Los Angeles area delivery.

West grew up on a farm and, as a teenager, moved to Eastern Sydney for school. Throughout her life, she has traveled through and lived in both Europe and South East Asia to gain inspiration for her artwork. Although her international journeys have acted as an influence on her style, the subjects of her paintings are very close to home. The subjects of all of her paintings exist in an infinite timeline but only in the location of Eastern Australia. Since West’s first breakthrough solo exhibition in New York in 2011, her artworks have become highly sought after internationally. She has won and placed as a finalist in numerous worldwide art competitions and juried exhibitions throughout her career. Her artworks are exhibited with influential galleries across Australia and the USA. Artplex Gallery has been representing and exhibiting Sally West's original artworks since 2019.
