A One-Off Original Painting of Deep Light and Shadow
"Reflections" is a dramatic and deeply textural original painting that captures the intense mood and hidden life of a shaded waterhole. Pat Chaffey showcases her expressive power here, transforming a simple scene into a work of complex colour and emotional depth.
The focus is on the massive, shadowy trunk of an ancient tree, rendered in thick, vigorous strokes that give it a commanding presence. Patches of vivid orange, pink, and gold break through the darkness, suggesting a hidden light source or the last, brilliant rays of a setting sun. Below, the still water is a pool of deep shadow, perfectly mirroring the composition but adding its own layer of mystery with shimmering, broken reflections of the vibrant sky and foliage.
This award-winning piece is a masterclass in contrasts: the heavy, earthy permanence of the tree against the fluid, ephemeral nature of the reflection. Chaffey’s highly textural use of pastel or oil medium invites the viewer to feel the roughness of the bark and the cool depth of the water.
As a truly one-off original from Pat Chaffey’s celebrated portfolio, "Reflections" is a powerful and emotive acquisition for any collector seeking depth, texture, and technical brilliance.
