@Sally Joy Midgley - Flame Flower

Melted, blended, layered and textured wax crayon on 31"x31" canvas for all your home and office décor.

Unique and different.

Imagine a flame flower depicted in an explosion of vibrant, abstract colours, as if created with melted wax crayons. The petals are a riot of hues, blending seamlessly from fiery reds and oranges to deep purples and electric blues. Each petal appears to be dripping and swirling, creating a mesmerizing effect of movement and fluidity. The center of the flower glows with a bright, molten yellow, radiating warmth and energy. The overall effect is both chaotic and harmonious, capturing the essence of a flame in a beautifully abstract form.

"Sunset on Titan" is a work that conveys cosmic melancholy and grandeur. It is a solitary sunset on a distant, cold and chemical world, but at the same time beautiful and fascinating. There is something romantic and sublime in that orange vastness. The strong yellow-orange light against the dark blue creates a feeling that is at once dramatic and hopeful: as if something were ending (the day) but with great intensity and beauty. (acrylic on canvas, 50 x 60 cm)

This is a piece I call Warp Speed. It is a Ferris Wheel at Union Station in St. Louis. I used kinetic light painting to photograph it. All of the light is what was on or around the wheel when I took the photo. I hope everyone enjoys it.

Title: " Primary Clash" size 36"x 48." I arranged bold reds, blues, yellows and whites into geometric volumes that seem to push and pull in a shallow, three‑dimensional space. Clean edges and angled planes create movement; shadows decide which pieces advance and which recede.

“Harmonic Horizons”- April 2026 11inx11in Japanese ink on Arches hot press paper.

Somewhat chaotic but there is a harmonic feel to this piece. There’s a feeling of something happening before that something became what it is. There is a lot of chaos in the world right now, I just hope that harmony is on the horizon.

Under the Sea” is an abstract piece inspired by the Little Mermaid movie. With vibrant colors that evoke underwater vibes, this piece is truly unique. What sets it apart are the glow-in-the-dark elements that truly make it pop. Painted with acrylic on a 24 x 20 stretched gallery wrap canvas, this piece is wired and ready to hang. Whether you’re a fan of the Little Mermaid or just looking for a sophisticated addition to your home decor, “Under the Sea” is sure to impress.

“Pixel Collection – HAPPINESS” is a celebration of color as pure emotion. A dense field of small, square brushstrokes weaves together bright yellows, lush greens, vivid blues, and flashes of red and violet, creating a playful, musical rhythm across the canvas. There is no single focal point: the eye is invited to wander, discovering new relationships between colors with each glance.

The underlying grid offers a sense of order, but within each cell the paint remains free—layered, irregular, and delightfully imperfect. This tension between structure and spontaneity is at the heart of the piece: happiness here is not a flat mood, but a dynamic, shifting state built from many small moments.

Perfect for lifting the atmosphere of a living room, creative workspace, or children’s area, “HAPPINESS” functions as a source of visual joy. It brightens the room in daylight and becomes a rich, intimate tapestry under softer evening light.

"Autumn Hillscape" presents a serene view of rolling hills bathed in warm orange and brown hues, signaling the quiet transition of the season. The soft layering of trees along the ridge introduces subtle depth against a pale blue sky. This artwork conveys the peaceful stillness of a late autumn afternoon, inviting a moment of calm reflection. It offers a tasteful addition to bring natural warmth to your space.

"Emerald Tapestry," Watercolor and Ink.

Rather than presenting nature as a single scene, Emerald Tapestry captures the feeling of Costa Rica — the sensory overload of standing in the rainforest where every inch hums with life. The composition resembles a patchwork of memories and discoveries gathered during a walk through paradise: a butterfly wing here, the spiral of a fern there, the glimmer of an insect’s wing catching tropical light. The intricate black-and-white patterns create rhythm and movement, almost like jungle music flowing beneath the surface. At its core, the painting is about interconnectedness — how every creature, leaf, and current of wind belongs to a greater living tapestry.

PATH #01 - Suminagashi - Every choice we make ripples out around us. This work seeks to make this movement visible. The lines that respond to one another, evade one another, constrain one another. What seems free is never quite free. What seems to be chaos obeys an implacable logic. Each curve is the consequence of the previous one. Each white space, a possibility that has ceased to exist.

And so we navigate through our lives without seeing how each choice quietly closes off entire horizons behind us.

Acrylic on canvas

This painting is inspired by seaports where an impressive number of cranes and people are at work to move the goods and the personal effects of people expatriating (as we do for India) …

Lines, walkways, and the colors of the containers contrast with the apparent calm of the sea around.
