The Cedar Room (2020) Original Mixed-media Painting by Megan Ashman

45.72 x 35.56 x 2.54cm / 45.72 x 35.56cm (actual image size)

£559.27

This mixed-media painting transforms a stately Victorian house into the threshold of another world. Anchored in the lower corner, the structure feels both familiar and strangely isolated, while the atmosphere surrounding it swirls with sweeping currents of turquoise, emerald, gold, and deep blue. The marbled surface moves like water, weather, memory, and cosmic energy all at once.

A luminous golden orb hangs in the upper left, creating an atmosphere that feels dreamlike rather than natural. Its presence shifts the scene from landscape into vision, as though the house exists between realities—part sanctuary, part mystery, and part forgotten memory. The contrast between the detailed architectural imagery and the fluid, unpredictable background creates a tension between permanence and transformation.

The painting invites the viewer to imagine what may be hidden inside the house, beyond the horizon, or beneath the layers of color. It explores the feeling of standing at the edge of the known world, where ordinary places become portals and memory begins to merge with imagination.

This original artwork was featured in Home & Garden UK.

Materials used:

Acrylic paint, acrylic pouring medium, alcohol inks, iridescent and colour-shift paints, stained-glass paint, mica powders, digitally altered photo collage, archival paper, images printed with archival inks, heavy gel medium, gesso, and protective varnish
