@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.

Whispers In The Wind - Diptych

"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)

INBOUND DYNAMICS 24"x36" (60cm x 90cm) Digital Art Printed with UV/Latex Inks over self-adhesive vinyl mounted over a 3mm PVC board.

This digital composition presents a sophisticated interplay of light and form through smooth, reflective spheres and delicate, curved lines in subtle hues. The layered patterns convey a sense of fluid motion, inviting contemplation on balance and space.

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.

"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.

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.

This is a large piece I did a few years ago done with acrylic paint and oil paint in a completely abstract form, but following some landscape ideas. I love the ease of composition and ethereal feeling within the painting

“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.

Parallel Sails: a hand-drawn linear study in graphite that presents two adjacent panels of sweeping, sail-like forms. Precise parallel lines fan from corner points and converge into graceful curves, producing subtle tonal shifts and a sense of forward motion. The composition balances density and open space, inviting a calm, focused glance while revealing small variations in line pressure and rhythm. Clean, monochrome and quietly modern — a refined piece that will complement a living room, office, or gallery wall.

"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.
