“Still” is an original Australian bush painting, created as part of a series while on a rural camping trip to Bollon, Queensland—just me, my oil paints, and a swiftly changing sky. (I was technically with others, but in an uncharacteristically antisocial hiatus, I snuck off solo for the day to paint.)

Some paintings take days. Layers and layers, fuss and faff. But I’ve always preferred the energy and immediacy of painting en plein air. This is one of those.

I set up in a paddock that was more sky than soil, shaded by a couple of lanky gums and accompanied only by a darting hawk.

The clouds were shape-shifting by the minute, and the light danced across the field faster than my thoughts. Something bit me on the ankle (the jury’s still out on what it was). I didn’t mind. I was too lost in the moment. This is the joy of painting outdoors: everything is alive, moving, unrepeatable.

I’ve called it “Still” because that’s how I felt—even while everything around me was in motion. It was the kind of stillness that only comes from solitude—that rare, rooted quiet you carry in your chest. I think it was the deep knowledge that I was more alone than I had been in a long time. But in the best way.

This one’s for the romantics of the Australian bush landscape. Hang it where you need a breath of bush air—above your kettle, beside your desk, or in the hallway to catch the light. Let it take you somewhere a little slower, dustier, and more olive-green.

Meet the Artist

Hello, I'm Rebecca Eddison, an Australian artist creating original oil paintings inspired by travel, nature, and the beautiful objects that quietly collect around a life well lived.

I believe the homes we love most are never decorated overnight. They are thoughtfully collected over time, layered with memories, heirlooms, favourite books, wild garden flowers, and treasures gathered from travels near and far. My paintings are created with that same philosophy of collected living, celebrating the stories, colours and places that make a house feel deeply personal.

Working primarily in oils, I paint expressive still lifes, landscapes and figurative works from my Queensland studio, while also heading outdoors whenever I can to paint en plein air. Sketchbooks, photographs and quick studies become the starting point for larger paintings, helping me capture not just how a place looked, but how it felt. I have an incurable magpie's eye for patterned textiles, weathered pottery, vintage finds and timeworn objects, many of which find their way into my compositions.

Before becoming a full-time artist, I studied Interior Design, and that love of colour has never left me. Rather than simply recording what I see, I use colour as a language of mood, layering expressive brushwork to evoke warmth, nostalgia and the quiet beauty of everyday life.

My hope is that each painting becomes more than something beautiful to hang on a wall. I want it to become part of your own story, bringing colour, conversation and a sense of artful living into your home. Because life moves quickly enough already. Sometimes the greatest luxury is simply having something beautiful that reminds us to pause.
