Hilma Washington-Dixon
Autumn Carnival, original painting, contemporary, floral

2024

About the Item

Size: 12 x 12 inches Surface: board - gessoed MDF (comes framed in a white frame and ready to hang with wire) This piece was painted with a mix of imagination and references from previous work. References would have been from foliage collected in Halima's Mother-in-law's garden or local flowers, sourced from local flower farms. Each piece is unique and never duplicated. The artist puts incredible thought into balancing cloth patterns and the colour of the cloth and what works with the bouquet and accompanying items. A lot of the colour schemes are based on the season. Because this is Autumn, there are a lot of reds, oranges and pinks. A beautiful compliment to these colours is turquoise and slate blue. The painting is full of beautiful textures, which are achieved by impasto technique (using thick paint) applied with brush and palette knife. Additional information: Oil on Board Sold framed - white frame Image size: Height: 36cm (14.17 in) Width: 36cm (14.17 in) Artist biography: Halima works mostly from her garden studio in Suffolk, England. Occasionally, she works en plein air in the beautiful countryside near her home. She paints almost every day, is always creating and has been painting professionally since 2006. Halima holds a B.A in Visual Arts and Art History from Occidental College (Los Angeles) and an M.F.A in Fine Art from the Academy of Art University (San Francisco). The vibrancy and thickness of the paint expresses joy and movement. Using a mix of brush and palette knife, she brings her subjects to life. Though she paints many subjects, in recent years she has been drawn to landscape painting. Halima is inspired by expansive countryside views, dramatic Suffolk skies and the rich colours of Summer. Her fresh and airy landscape paintings evoke nostalgic memories and a love of the outdoors, often depicting idyllic Summer days, waving grasses and windswept wheat fields. ​ Her still life work is inspired by foraged floral arrangements. Her work is also seasonal, painting bouquets that reflect the essence of Spring, Summer and Autumn. Harmonious blossoms are set against a complementing background using fruit and pattern as a thoughtful contrast. These works capture blooming flora using contemporary compositions mixed with rustic charm. The flowers are sourced from local independent flower growers and her Mother in law's delightful garden.
