Hope by Julia Mackie – Original acrylic painting on cotton duck stretched canvas completed in 2026.

A beautiful balance is struck between traditional figurative realism and Julia’s unique contemporary style with contrasting colours, impactful negative space with delicate details and layered poignant symbolism.

This piece for me shows my learnings from getting through life’s most challenging times. It’s not always about having the answers to fix things, but as long as there is a next step, then it’s possible to move forward. There is no erasing the past, no bringing the flowers back from decay, but there is learning, there is beauty, there is hope. 

Original acrylic painting in orange and brown hues contrasting with a pastel blue figure kneeling with flowers. The figure is holding the decaying flowers out to the rain.
