Original Artwork - Estuary (Custom Framed)
- Category: New Release, Shop Original Artworks
105x80cm approx including framing. Mixed media on premium, deep edge gallery canvas. Custom float framed in beautiful natural Australian Oak. Please allow 3 weeks for your piece to be ready to post.
The rain has been so heavy at the studio that the grass is as tall as my tame wolf and the bougainvilleas, bright and bulging with magenta blooms that pale to corally-salmon in the sunshine, droop heavily under the weight of their own enthusiasm as they reach across the path to the door and grab for the walls and gutters to try to suffocate my little shack-sanctuary. I think it is utterly beautiful and also could the gardener please come and sort this wilderness out please and thank you because boags are beautiful and also exceptionally thorny. The price of prettiness.
And the rain and the humidity and the running and the working and the activities with the kids that are sometimes not as magical as we had hoped and the holidaying and the planting and the catching up with friends and the lonely morning hours of trying to get things done before everyone awakes and the Masters enrolment and the yoga and the searching for a new dog for my son and the best paintings I've ever painted and the tiredness all flit in and out of my mind like the blurry, hazy, wonderful and also frequently mindful but mundane haste of the holiday period...and there are regrets about moments that might have gone differently, unfinished projects, moments of marvellously winning-at-life and magic and everything in between...
...and I feel like it has been the best summer ever. Not because it is the best we will ever have and not because it felt perfect in every moment. It was the best summer ever because just like an estuary - where river meets sea and different waters meet and merge...it was an honest summer.
A really living it summer. An 'in the thick of it' summer. Even the few passive days of languishing moments were spent present and feeling all of the range of feelings that come with being alive.
...and that's this piece. Estuary.

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.
