Two seasons are reflected in these large semi-abstract floral works which, as ever, in Wendi's work, play uproariously with colour and pattern, as the bold floral shapes and flower head motifs dance across the canvas.
Euphoria presents a lively collection of sunflowers, each one curling and stretching for the prime spot, as if they are characters jostling for position. This piece was inspired by the low summer sun in the artist's garden and sees her moving back to an interplay of greens and peaches which she first favoured two years ago.
With the Nothing to See Here duo we have a pair of autumn 2025 paintings presenting a rich and tropical interpretation of the blooms of Wendi's garden. Deep and lustrous pigments shine out from the canvas and they would look ideal, together or separately, in a sumptuous dining area or a cosy snug. As a pair, together, they work well as the artist has designed the floral motifs to flow across the duo, from left to right.
ABOUT WENDI WELLER
Warwickshire artist, Wendi, is passionate about colour and this translates into large, semi-abstract, bold floral paintings as well as still life work.
Working in acrylic, oil and mixed media - either on canvas, paper or board - she aims to create fresh, bright, fluid lines. She uses mark-making and texture to convey the shapes and vibrancy of flowers and vegetation in her own garden, working from her eco studio which backs onto countryside.
What starts out as a vision, soon evolves into an abstract concept of the shape and contours relating to the colour and form.

“I begin my paintings with washes of colour, then build up layers, always retaining some of the sweeping background brush marks and colours in the finished painting.
“These paintings are inspired by my garden and some are named after strong Shakespearean women - independent and intelligent characters who are capable of overcoming obstacles and challenges in their lives. I feel my plants face similar challenges, with the threat of global warming and seasonal hurdles of their own.”
