Wolfie and I took a stroll to the beach this morning. It’s only a few steps from the front door of the studio so it doesn’t make sense that we don’t go more often, to be honest.

This morning I had my coffee in one hand and the other arm wrapped about myself as best I could because the air was that pleasant sort of whispy-bitey that turns up about this time of year. Fleeting chills that recede with the tide into golden dawns and warm days. The sand was icy underfoot compared to the relative warmth of the still-cold sea and we listened to our own footsteps and the water waving goodbye to the beach in the stillness of the almost-dawn.

The sand, in various stages of wet/dry/damp plays out the predawn colour with bold, kaleidoscopic designs that make it seem impossible to ignore intelligent design and I do my best to memorise the shapes and shades and colours to transfer them to canvas later…

We came back after about 20 minutes. Long enough for the air to have caressed our faces and form that strange salty crusty, creaky feeling on my skin and hair and long enough for the water to have seeped almost up to the knees of my pyjamas pants.

We washed our feet in the bathtub in the studio where I usually let paint brushes soak and some of us with four paws found the experience of running them under the tap fascinating and taxing in equal measure. I got sniffed and snuffled at in vague disgust until I towelled her dry - a kind of massage that seemed to make the whole ordeal rather palatable after all.

And now we both gaze over at the beach and wonder when we will go again.

Artwork information

Fine art reproductions (prints) are printed on the very best archival cotton rag or archival stretched canvas as chosen by you by a small family firm in Brisbane. All of my cotton paper prints are inclusive of a 1cm white border and fit straight into standard frames or are easily custom-framed without losing any of the image, and the stretched canvas prints and originals can be put straight on the wall as they are ready to hang.

Our canvas prints come with a mirrored edge for a wrapped look or a plain edge if the background colour of the artwork is a block colour.

As with all new arrivals, we’d love to see you celebrate it properly. We suggest popping some champagne and taking a picture once it’s hanging on your wall.

We’d love to see your celebrations. You can tag us on Instagram @thenewdevine or send your snaps to us by replying to your order email.

Our favourite store-bought frames can be found on framing guide, and more framing information can be found on our FAQ page. Or, as with any question, please feel free to get in touch so we can help you perfect a room with your new art.

Shipping - We post on Tuesdays and Fridays.

Australian Standard Shipping is Free or you can choose express for $10. International flat rate shipping is $25. We post most orders on the following Tuesday or Friday, however there are some exceptions:

A1 and A0 artworks are printed to order as are all stretched canvas artworks. Please allow an extra 5-10 business days for printing in addition to standard Australia Post delivery estimates. We often have things ready MUCH sooner but sometimes, our printer is overwhelmed with our orders so please be patient if your new art takes a little longer to arrive. We promise it will be worth it.

Original Artworks: We very carefully varnish originals and pack them incredibly well once they are sold. Seamus is in charge of all of that and he’s meticulous - he used to work on gas rigs so when it comes to safety and attention to detail? He doesn’t compromise. It can sometimes take him a whole day to pack an original depending on the size with his unique system so you can imagine if we sell a couple of originals all at once he gets very busy! An extra couple of days for careful packing is absolutely worth it for a safe delivery of your art, though. Expect a week or so between ordering your original and it being posted. I promise it will be worth it.

Copyright and reproductions

Purchase of any The New Devine original artwork or art product (including reproductions) does not entitle the purchaser to make further copies—the copyright remains with the artist.

Framing

Please note all prints are sold unframed.

Images above are examples only and have been included to give you a squiz at how beautiful the work looks when framed.

We produce our prints to fit standard store-bought frames but we do recommend professional framing to improve the longevity and quality of your piece.
