The inspiration for this painting are the fields of Lavender in full bloom. I have used acrylic paint and medium applied with brushes and sponges in layers to create depth and texture.The underpainting is more organic and the paint is applied in an abstract way to help lead the viewer around the work and give it a feeling of surprise.The top layers are much more considered and ordered and use the patterns seen in the Lavender planting. The underpainting provide more interest than just a painting of pattern. Colour and shape knit the painting together but still some point of difference can be seen.

Amanda McColl is an abstract painter based on Victoria’s
Mornington Peninsula. She is a passionate artist and takes great
pride in creating art that can be enjoyed and loved by others. Each
artwork created is unique, speaking one thing to one and another
to someone else. Shocks of colour and undulations of texture are
at the core of her work. She is proud to present a selection of work,
each is individual, bespoke, unrepeated and in varied sizes. Optical
compilations of colour, texture, shapes, contours and movement
are evident in each work. Her preferred medium is acrylic on
canvas or paper, using brushes and palette knives.
Amanda briefly studied Art and Design at Prahran College before
pursuing other passions and moving overseas with her family. In
1996 Amanda was once again able to dedicate time to her art and
in 1998 was able to turn her passion into a full time commitment.
Amanda has exhibited in non-commercial spaces in Hong Kong
and Melbourne many times over the last 27 years. Her paintings
are held in collections in the USA, the United Kingdom, Hong Kong, Singapore, New Zealand and Australia
