Marissa Weatherhead's "Flowers and Blue" is a vibrant celebration of still life reimagined through a contemporary lens. This acrylic on canvas work (30 x 40 cm framed) presents a joyful arrangement of stylised red flowers with curling petals alongside sliced fruit and tableware against a striking blue background. Weatherhead employs bold, confident brushstrokes and a cheerful palette dominated by vivid reds, yellows and oranges that pop dramatically against the cool blue plane. The composition balances playful abstraction with recognisable forms—the distinctive curved petals of the flowers, the circular fruit slices, and the geometric patterns on vessels—creating a delightful visual rhythm that feels both sophisticated and whimsical.
Colour and Composition in Contemporary Still Life

When displayed in a living space, "Flowers and Blue" acts as a vibrant focal point that brings immediate warmth and energy to its surroundings. The work's compact dimensions allow it to enhance intimate spaces like reading nooks or breakfast areas, where its celebratory mood and rich colour relationships can be fully appreciated. Weatherhead's distinctive interpretation of everyday objects invites viewers to reconsider the beauty of simple domestic arrangements, making this piece not merely decorative but a thoughtful addition that enlivens daily experience through its expressive handling of colour and form.
