Peace
This piece started out to be twice the size it ended up. It was going to be a more traditional style painting. But as it developed it became clear to me that this was all it needed. This was how it was meant to be. The picture sold at the first exhibition I entered it into. It sold to a lady who had recently lost her husband (I rang her and spoke to her) She knew she had to have it, it was meant for her…..and her husband.
Pastel on mat board. size – 24×70cm 2008 Sold.
Has been featured in ‘Painters in Modern Times’ and ‘Landscape Painting’ groups.

Beautiful painting and aptly titled, the shape of the painting works very well
Marion Cullen
So light and delicate, this has such a beautiful ethereal quality about it. I can see very well why the lady had to have it.

Golly gosh – I really admire all of your work – but this… I simply drink this …. like the mountain chilled crystal clear water from a babbling brook… fragrant earth and a cushion of soft grass warmly basking in the dappled beams of misty filtered sunrays …. I drift with the soft breezy music whispering in the branches, dancing upon the floating leaves… shhhhhh – ahem, sorry, got carried away there – I quite like this one – well done

Wonderfully balanced and just the right synthesis of colour – gorgeous! I wish I could tone down some of my work to do something so subtle and peaceful.
Heidi Garner replied
Well thats weird coz I keep trying to do brighter and bolder works!! Perhaps we’re just meant to do what we’re meant to do :) And thanx :D

Tahnja
I agree Louise, astonishing work that is a blessing from God
Heidi Garner replied
You are right Tahnja. It sounds weird, but I look at my work and am blasted away! I squirm at all the compliments…I dont think I can take credit for this art….um, the beauty is already there, we just don’t ‘see’ it. I feel soooo lucky and grateful that I can see it and even more so that I can paint it and share it :)
Tahnja
gosh I agree. I just love that really super special quality you can capture. I think it’s truly beautiful that you can be so humble as well. Peace to you and God bless you for sharing your wonderful talent
Martin Kirkwood
Great depth, wonderful lighting and fabulous use of atmospheric (aerial) perspective. An instant favourite. I can’t believe I haven’t seen this before. :)

Bob Hardy
When I saw this vision I was in the Smoky Mountains in North Carolina USA. I tried to capture it with my camera, but wasn’t quite successful.
You captured it perfectly when it moved to Victoria. Your artistic skill is amazing Hiedi.
Pastel, Acrylic, Pencil, Ink, Photography: your magic touch is wonderful. (I know, I know; there is a bunch of work involved too).
Bob <><
Heidi Garner replied
Wow, Bob, thanx very muchly! Some photos I take are good for reference for a work of art. Each piece is perfect for the medium used (or visa versa). And sometimes a photo is just best left as a photo…it’s a work of art in itself!
