Peninsula Collection | Original Framed Pastel Painting by Desley Stewart
A$845.00
Immerse yourself in the quiet elegance and slow, unhurried rhythm of the Australian coastline. Peninsula Collection by acclaimed pastel artist Desley Stewart is an award-winning, hyper-realistic masterpiece that captures the pure, natural beauty of shells gathered along the shoreline.
Recognized globally as a finalist in the prestigious 2025 Richeson75 International Still Life and Floral Exhibition, this original painting portrays each delicate shell as an irreplaceable treasure of the sea, balancing subtle organic shapes and soft coastal mineral tones in a timeless, high-end composition.
This exquisite work perfectly evokes the meditative, restorative pleasure of beachcombing—recalling the feeling of soft sand beneath your feet and the gentle warmth of sun-soaked days by the water. By translating these fleeting, serene moments into a highly detailed work of fine art, Stewart creates a profound visual escape that radiates nostalgia and calm. It serves as a beautiful, grounding anchor for anyone seeking to cultivate a sophisticated, stress-free home sanctuary rooted in local, slow-crafted artisan luxury.
Measuring 37cm x 46cm, this celebrated original is hand-crafted with professional-grade soft pastels on premium archival Pastelmat. It comes beautifully presented in a high-quality timber frame, enhanced by an elegant gallery-style double mountboard. Fitted with museum-grade anti-reflective glass, the framing eliminates distracting room reflections, allowing you to appreciate the velvety depth, intricate spiral details, and luminous pastels from any angle in the room. Signed by the artist and completely ready to hang, Peninsula Collection is a standout piece on its own or a magnificent focal point when displayed alongside other originals from Stewart's five-part Seashell Collection.

Care & Preservation Instructions
-
Handle with Care: Soft pastels are a delicate, powder-based archival medium. The artwork has been permanently framed and sealed behind protective glass. Do not attempt to open the frame or remove the backing tape.
-
Sunlight Protection: To safeguard the soft tonal shifts and natural shell pigments from fading, install your framed artwork away from continuous, harsh direct sunlight.
-
Environmental Balance: Display in a stable, climate-controlled indoor space. Avoid high-humidity areas like unventilated bathrooms to prevent moisture from pooling beneath the glass panel.
-
Glass Maintenance: Clean the anti-reflective glass very gently using a clean, bone-dry microfiber cloth. If a cleaner is required, spray a tiny amount of glass cleaner directly onto the cloth first—never spray liquids directly onto the frame.
