A quiet morning moment, caught just as the sun starts to make dappled shadow over the breakfast table. This painting savours the last cluster of ripe cherries from Summer resting on an old Japanese plate. Beneath it, dappled morning shadows move gently across the scene, suggesting an open window, fresh air, and the hush of early hours.

Painted while farm sitting in Gundaroo, there’s a tenderness to this piece, an invitation to slow down and notice the poetry of everyday objects.

The rich reds of the cherries glow against the cool blues, creating a calm, balanced harmony. Perfect for kitchens, dining spaces, or anywhere you want to bring a sense of stillness and simple beauty, this painting offers a small daily reminder that the ordinary can be exquisite when you pause long enough to see it.

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.
