DANCING IN THE BREEZE - ORIGINAL ARTWORK

DANCING IN THE BREEZE

183cm x 122cm

Acrylic & Oil Pastel on Canvas

Framed in Hand-Stained Tasmanian Oak

Painted in Australian artist Rikki Day's Northern Rivers Studio.

THE MEANING BEHIND THE WORK:

There are moments when simply being alive feels extraordinary.

Fresh air on your face. Sunshine warming your skin. Salt water through your hair. The scent of flowers drifting past on the breeze.

"Dancing in the Breeze" is an ode to the senses and a celebration of the physical experience of being human. It is a reminder that some of life's greatest joys are not things we own or achieve, but things we simply experience.

Created as part of my latest collection exploring humanity, presence and the joy of real life, this piece encourages us to return to our bodies, our surroundings and the simple pleasures that make life meaningful.

Painted with expressive brushwork, layered colour and visible hand-made marks, the piece embraces the beauty of the hand. I wanted the work to feel alive, joyful and unmistakably human — carrying a sense of warmth and presence into the home it inhabits.

LIVING WITH THE WORK

At 183cm x 122cm, Dancing in the Breeze creates an immediate sense of movement within a room.

Its flowing forms and earthy palette bring softness and rhythm to a space while maintaining a feeling of calm. It is a work that invites you to slow down, breathe deeply and reconnect with the beauty of everyday life.

FRAMING & PRESENTATION

The frame is not an afterthought — it is an extension of the artwork itself.

Unable to find a commercial framing finish that I felt truly complemented the tones within this collection, I sourced a beautiful Japanese brown stain and hand-finished each Tasmanian Oak frame in my studio. The deep brown finish was carefully chosen to elevate the artwork while maintaining a sense of warmth and timelessness.

Each frame carries subtle variations from the hand-finishing process, adding another layer of individuality to an already one-of-a-kind piece.
