Purple Rain
$890.00
Purple Rain is an original abstract floral painting by Sue Mac Dougall. The painting captures the fleeting beauty of a garden refreshed by gentle rain, evoking a sense of nostalgia and calm. Delicate drips and washes enhance the colours and textures, suggesting raindrops clinging to leaves and petals. Layers of luminous greens, blues, and purples create shimmering reflections and the invigorating atmosphere that follows a rainfall.
What makes this work truly exceptional is the distinctive finish Sue has developed. The painting is sealed in resin, giving the colours a luminous depth, while the deep box frame is clad in radiant gold-mirrored edges. These reflective sides catch the light and shift with the viewer’s perspective, transforming the artwork into something more than a painting — a sculptural presence that alters and enriches the space around it. Few artists work in this way, making each piece not only visually striking but also rare and highly individual.
