Everyday objects become something rather special in the hands of Janet Gammans.

In Blue Echoes, a simple vessel and pear take centre stage against a richly layered backdrop of deep indigo, turquoise and brilliant blue. Touches of orange, red and fresh green punctuate the composition, while reflections across the surface below give the painting wonderful depth and movement.

Janet’s expressive approach turns a familiar still life into something contemporary and full of personality. The strong blues make this a particularly striking choice for a kitchen or dining area, where it will bring colour to the room without demanding all the attention.

An original painting with plenty to discover the longer you look – and, of course, there will only ever be one.
