I painted Colours of Australia in a wild, red-earthed corner of outback Queensland, the kind of place where your boots turn the colour of paprika. We were camping nearby, and I pottered off to a shady spot to paint for the day. This was the last piece I painted, and although Joel had come to collect me, I’m afraid I couldn’t stop.

A gum tree had caught the very last light—its leaves glowing golden green, casting long, poetically purple shadows across the dirt. The light was almost outrageous. Warm, saturated, the kind of colour that looks edited in a photo, but it wasn’t. The pinks and pastel peaches in the sky seamlessly blend to a dusky blue. The leaf tips looked like they’d caught fire. This is why I love painting en plein air. You can’t make this stuff up. You can only try to catch it.

I didn’t just want to paint the scene—I wanted to bottle the feeling. The last warmth of the sun on your skin, contrasted with the nip of chill as another April evening settled in.

Hang it where you need a hit of colour—a splash of sunset and gum leaf glory. Maybe beside your kettle, maybe above your desk. Or wherever your eyes land when you’re daydreaming about chucking it all in and heading bush.

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.

Fine art for homes that refuse to be boring.
