"The Price we Pay" is an expressive and immersive composition that evokes the sensation of walking through a dreamlike garden. The painting bursts with energetic strokes of pink, deep magenta, and lush green, interwoven with soft whites and teal accents. Layers of paint, drips, and gestural marks create a sense of depth, as if the viewer is peering through shifting foliage and blossoms caught in motion. Hints of scribbled text and delicate dots of colour add a personal and spontaneous element, suggesting the fleeting, almost whispered nature of memory and emotion. The contrast between bold, fluid strokes and soft, blended hues captures both the chaos and harmony of nature’s beauty. Michelle Nixon’s work invites the viewer to feel rather than simply see—to get lost in the textures, colors, and rhythmic energy of a garden alive with movement and mystery. Acrylic and Mixed Media on canvas with a protective satin varnish. Wide edge, acid-free, 340gsm cotton duck canvas, painted black on the side, wired and ready to hang. Please contact me if you would like the edges of the painting to be finished in a different colour.
