This cheerful still life captures the essence of sunny days with a bright bouquet of sunflowers in a decorative vase. Set against a pink background, the composition includes a plate of freshly picked apples and a Matisse book, adding a touch of rustic charm. During Melanie's most recent trip back to Italy she unpacked a few boxes that had long been in storage and found this favourite old jug and one of her many books on Matisse. The apples in the painting came from a friend’s tree and the sunflowers were bought at a roadside stall.

During her time in Florence, she worked as a fabric designer for high-end fashion labels while nurturing her passion for painting.
In 2010, Melanie returned to Sydney, settling in the beautiful suburb of Bronte, where she now paints full-time. Her still life artworks celebrate the intricate beauty of Australian native flowers and everyday household items, transforming them into captivating pieces of art.
