Glasshouse Study-1

Description

About This Painting

Glasshouse Study-1 is an original geometric botanical painting that brings together two seemingly opposite visual worlds — the precision of architectural form and the organic unpredictability of plant life. Sharp geometric planes meet gentle foliage in a composition that feels both structured and alive.

Acrylic and oil are combined across the surface, building translucent layers that create a sense of calm harmony amid complexity. The palette is restrained — cool greens, warm whites, and soft neutral grounds — allowing the interplay of line and leaf to take centre stage.

Part of the Glasshouse Series

This work is part of Norah Kennedy’s ongoing Glasshouse series, which explores the space where architecture and nature meet — the threshold between the cultivated and the wild. A glasshouse is itself a geometric structure in service of organic growth, and that tension is at the heart of this body of work.

Each piece in the series begins with careful drawing and perspective, before dissolving into layered planes of colour where botanical forms surface only in fragments — suggesting growth rather than depicting it.

Original Art for Contemporary Interiors

Glasshouse Study-1 suits interiors that balance warmth and modernity — kitchens, dining rooms, garden rooms, or any space where nature and design coexist. It is a quiet, considered painting that rewards close looking.

This is a unique original artwork, hand-painted in Norah Kennedy’s Irish studio. It arrives ready to hang and includes a certificate of authenticity. Norah’s work is collected across Ireland, the UK, and Europe.
