Layered brushwork in soft rose, pale ivory and muted chartreuse builds movement and depth, and fine drips run down through the darkness, adding a contemporary tension to an otherwise romantic subject. The flowers read as light held against shadow, grounded at the lower edge and luminous as they climb.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth paintings are presented in carved ivory-toned wood frames with scrolling botanical relief, a refined counterpoint of traditional ornament to modern, gestural painting. Shared in palette, subject and framing, the two are made to hang together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHistory \u0026amp; Provenance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pair is attributed to Hela Donela, a self-taught, Finnish-born painter who has made her life and work in Australia, first around Jervis Bay on the New South Wales South Coast and more recently at Rocky Cape in north-west Tasmania. She paints mainly in acrylic, and flowers are among her most frequent subjects, often painted as feeling rather than as botanical studies. These works are consistent with that language.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eField\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eObject\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePair of original floral abstract paintings\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAustralia (attributed)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eForm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTwo framed paintings on canvas, carved ivory-toned wood frames with botanical scrollwork; ready to hang; sold as a pair\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePaint on canvas\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMarks\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAttributed to Hela Donela\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEra\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eContemporary, 21st century\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCondition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePainting surfaces clean and stable with no visible damage; frames present well with minimal wear consistent with display.

The dark ground keeps them from reading too sweet, and the brushwork keeps them alive. Hang them side by side in a neutral or transitional room, flanking a bed or a mantel, in a sitting room, or as the anchor of a layered gallery wall, where the carved frames tie them to antiques and the painting brings a living energy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo keep them at their best, hang them out of direct sun and away from heat sources and humidity. Dust the frames with a soft, dry brush, and leave any cleaning of the painted surfaces to a professional conservator.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Viridian Eclection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42902463807593,"sku":"VE-0553","price":946.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/0093\/9369\/files\/IMG_7643.jpg?v=1770882247"}],"url":"https:\/\/viridianeclection.com\/collections\/hela-donela.oembed","provider":"Viridian Eclection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
