'Emerald Reverie' (2026) Original Acrylic Painting by Jo Starkey

Inspired by the rich colours of a summer meadow bathed in light, this original mixed media painting is an expressive celebration of nature's beauty. Layers of vibrant emerald greens and luminous turquoise blues create an atmospheric backdrop, from which delicate wildflowers and silhouetted seedheads emerge in a joyful tapestry of colour and texture.

Built up over many layers using acrylics and mixed media, the painting combines expressive mark-making with sculptural impasto flowers, creating depth, movement and a wonderful sense of spontaneity. Metallic gold highlights are woven throughout the composition, catching the light beautifully and adding warmth and luminosity as the viewing angle changes.
