When a close young family member got married I was inspired to paint about marriage and weddings. This work represents the joy and beauty of the wedding day, and the key players themselves. Black for the men dressed in fine suits. In the top right hand corner a beautiful large white flower is the bride. The three soft bouquets around the sides of the painting are the bridesmaids. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66f0ad02da560d20aa2bc343/62b7bc9b-619a-41f8-98bf-262f51c3a7c1/IMG_4195.jpeg Florals Crazy Vase Tulips in Winter - oil on board. I fell in love with this colour palette, especially the warmth and softness of the oranges, apricots and powder blues set against the strength of the deeper colours. Even though it was winter when I painted it, tulips were already popping up. Vases feature strongly in my work and are generally a bit wonky and interesting. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66f0ad02da560d20aa2bc343/196abd2e-0cb4-4749-936d-7ccdfa1b0e62/IMG_4295.jpeg Florals A War of Two Vases - acrylic on canvas. This girl is big. The core inspiration was a beautiful bowl-like vase of flowers, and from there I let my imagination run wild to create a riot of blooms. As they emerged, so did a second vase of flowers, a little surprise! Look carefully and you will find it. The gorgeous dark sections of the painting contain deep burgundy tones, giving it a really moody depth. They offset the green tones really well. I have always imagined this painting hanging in a traditional dining room, capturing the mood of the evening and beautifying the space. But recently she made an appearance in the media room of a traditional home with a modern renovation and she looked a million dollars! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66f0ad02da560d20aa2bc343/57cbcebe-4e71-4965-b1df-8ad92bb5519a/IMG_4199.jpeg Florals Magnolia Marriage #3 and #4 - acrylic on board. A long time ago I planted many Magnolia trees around my Auckland home. My nephews helped me plant some of them which was really special. The colours of the leaves and the gorgeous flowers have always held a special place in my heart. So you will find them popping up in many of my floral paintings. These two small works are a beautiful diptych which would look stunning in any room, whether hung together or separately. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66f0ad02da560d20aa2bc343/e15894fb-5d81-4beb-a9b5-a84cecb9b94b/IMG_2976.jpeg Florals Flower Vase #2 - acrylic on canvas This happy little vase of cosmos daisies and dahlias is one of my earlier pieces. It felt special because my mother was an enthusiastic grower of dahlias, and I have always loved having cosmos daisies in my own garden. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66f0ad02da560d20aa2bc343/06cfc184-2eb5-4a44-aad7-ba992822bcc0/IMG_5418.jpeg Florals Bonkers - acrylic on canvas. I had a bit of a war with this painting to be honest. The canvas is decent in size, and the whole thing started with a soft olive green wash to get the composition and tone going.. as the painting progress it quickly went quite lime green much to my alarm, and the flowers went a little bonkers. I set about knocking things back and editing parts out but before I could finish a friend wanted to see it in their home.. hesitantly I took it around and she loved it! Don’t do any more she said! Then another friend said she loved it! So here it is, in all its green bonkers glory. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66f0ad02da560d20aa2bc343/d17afeef-feca-4221-ae83-b27f46887577/IMG_4709.jpeg Florals Two Vases and Pretty Little Things - oil on board. Soft pastels, with tulips and roses in a glass vase with no other purpose but to look pretty. On the right hand side of the painting in the background there is another small oval vase with soft white ruffled roses. My little gift to the viewer. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66f0ad02da560d20aa2bc343/9e25994f-664f-43d6-85c6-eeed1857cfc7/IMG_4401.jpeg Florals Scruffy Little Bunch - oil on canvas. There’s just a single vase in this work, stuffed with scruffy abstracted roses. A simple and colourful study that’s lively and fun (another wonky vase), but a little serious all at the same time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66f0ad02da560d20aa2bc343/1781058169275-YG3C30NDJAR5S2O0T2AU/IMG_5482.jpg Florals Ready for the Vase - oil on board. A large bunch of soft blooms lie on the table in front of a glass vase, waiting to be arranged into some order. They roses look like they’ll comply with the arranger, but I think the daisies might have other ideas. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66f0ad02da560d20aa2bc343/fd89ff2f-d67f-4a61-b425-9ee25bd9752d/IMG_2850.jpg Florals Golden Daisies - acrylic study on 300gsm art paper https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66f0ad02da560d20aa2bc343/1752557231950-QKZVKZDYBV7AXPT4MMN4/IMG_3967.jpg Florals This is part one of a diptych, another in my mini-obsession with white magnolias, and is also part of my series on weddings and marriage. The white pair represents the two partners of a marriage on their wedding day. I prepared the surface by covering board with white linen and gesso. The paint sat beautifully on the linen which lent itself perfectly to these beautiful magnolia flowers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66f0ad02da560d20aa2bc343/057a42ff-71df-4ec5-bb56-3355224cfb67/IMG_3306.jpeg Florals Magnolia Marriage #2 - acrylic on hand-prepared linen on board https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66f0ad02da560d20aa2bc343/b4753c85-5603-47ec-9544-43605ac0dd71/IMG_4749.jpeg Florals Roses in Autum - oil on board https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66f0ad02da560d20aa2bc343/1764108714741-3QUXONVUP2HMRB1V6FID/IMG_4721.jpg Florals Flowers on the Altar - acrylic on linen 400mm x 840mm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66f0ad02da560d20aa2bc343/0a2e2975-ed4f-41ef-ad61-ec30d109b0c9/IMG_2791.jpg Florals Simple Peonies #2 - Aquarelle Pencil study on 200gsm art paper https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66f0ad02da560d20aa2bc343/98c36474-a05b-4c55-a9b3-2f5da4930b0e/IMG_2734.jpg Florals Ruffled Roses - Aquarelle Pencil study on 200gsm art paper https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66f0ad02da560d20aa2bc343/60d74abd-642c-4138-90ee-455998642663/1FA5808C-5350-451F-B04F-E3FFEC3B7C2A.jpeg Florals Tall Serious Vase - oil on board https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66f0ad02da560d20aa2bc343/c20048f4-4951-4815-b54b-3af3f6ae0559/IMG_5631.jpeg Florals Big People - oil on board https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66f0ad02da560d20aa2bc343/ff8c0ee5-dd36-46b0-ba7f-781e6ae341dc/IMG_4165.jpeg Florals Sometimes They Go Crazy - oil on board https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66f0ad02da560d20aa2bc343/2319adea-1ea8-47e2-bc64-cd24bbd21bab/IMG_4651.jpeg Florals Crazy Colour Cousins - oil on board https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66f0ad02da560d20aa2bc343/9caaadb6-5143-44e3-91f7-158cfb2f4b63/IMG_5607.jpeg Florals Flowers in My Window in Auckland - oil on board https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66f0ad02da560d20aa2bc343/2f01ad21-9468-4978-bb30-a005a2af1328/IMG_4748.jpeg Florals Flowers in My Window in Arrowtown - oil on board https://www.melissa-broadbent.com/gallery-photography daily 0.75 2025-07-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66f0ad02da560d20aa2bc343/8a89a94c-3efb-476c-a5dd-4fb49c100575/IMG_3410.jpeg Photography Arrowtown Hills https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66f0ad02da560d20aa2bc343/4f1b5e31-7ac9-47e6-a56b-a9f9bf0821dd/Blue+Water+-+DSC_1519-3.jpg Photography Windswept https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66f0ad02da560d20aa2bc343/2206238d-bb5c-4c97-aa26-22e2e78d9b97/Halo+Rock+-+DSC_1173-watermark-2.jpg Photography Halo Rock #1 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66f0ad02da560d20aa2bc343/9921d7b0-c508-436a-a245-03408a9438e3/Bridal+Veil+-+DSC1535.jpg Photography Bridal Veil https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66f0ad02da560d20aa2bc343/277c2f85-3104-46d5-b672-fdfe7ed4db9a/Melissa_Broadbent_20250316_Earnslaw_DSC_1564-3+%28watermark%29.jpg Photography Smoothy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66f0ad02da560d20aa2bc343/596183e1-d221-48a4-9f51-46f00fa86a4e/IMG_3114.jpeg Photography Gold https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66f0ad02da560d20aa2bc343/de45a9bd-8662-4a8e-956b-51d206c9ec23/IMG_3122.jpeg Photography Drama Fall https://www.melissa-broadbent.com/achieve-earlier-work daily 0.75 2025-07-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66f0ad02da560d20aa2bc343/a15d6ef6-7655-466d-bc6a-c5b6b8e36a62/IMG_6681.jpeg Archive - Earlier Work Director Portrait - acrylic on canvas https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66f0ad02da560d20aa2bc343/85c22f76-07e1-4124-998a-79568142a7b1/DSC_0664.jpeg Archive - Earlier Work Samuel L.

I flew over Queenstown recently and saw a number of mountain lakes. To me they felt moody and lonely, but ant the same time utterly beautiful. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66f0ad02da560d20aa2bc343/44cdd184-912d-492c-b2bc-a966c424ce4a/IMG_5722.jpeg Landscapes Otago Mountain Layers. Every day I discover more different shapes in the views of the mountains around Otago. The layers and shapes fascinate me. As do the colours - golds from the tussock, reds and pinks from the jaw-dropping sunset light, darks from the black lichen, whites from the winter snow. The schist holds shades of grey, yellow oxide and burnt sienna. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66f0ad02da560d20aa2bc343/ab3243c8-a363-4732-a57e-bcaa49db3175/IMG_1630.jpeg Landscapes Crown Terrace in Winter https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66f0ad02da560d20aa2bc343/1ab0fb4c-8fdc-432c-a3de-62c9b8534102/IMG_1631.jpeg Landscapes Tasman Glacier. This painting was inspired by the way I felt flying into Tasman Glacier. It emerges in front of you, powerful and gorgeous all at the same time. I was mesmerised by the beautiful blues, greens and greys of the surrounding landscape and the glacier itself. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66f0ad02da560d20aa2bc343/7258d764-4ed1-46fe-bc61-a5bb66a73de2/IMG_5509.jpeg Landscapes Queenstown at Night from Cadrona Ski Field. My favourite view when I ski Cardrona is from the top looking over Soho Basin, westwards towards Queenstown. Just on dusk the sky can be so moody, especially when bad weather is brewing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66f0ad02da560d20aa2bc343/0e7b95ed-681e-474b-8793-2e1aa915a981/IMG_5618.jpeg Landscapes Glacier at Earnslaw Burn. I spent a day at Earnslaw Burn and the place had a huge impact on me. As we flew we saw sections of the glacier which mesmerised me and took my breath away all at the same time. Although the literal colour palette of the landscape is more limited than my painting, this work conveys some of the things that this special place made me feel. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66f0ad02da560d20aa2bc343/494daaee-3f00-4ba8-82a0-4164f63bf9ed/IMG_5481.jpeg Landscapes Spring in Glenorchy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66f0ad02da560d20aa2bc343/9909df66-69bc-448d-81bb-4f7203f0ec74/IMG_5721.jpeg Landscapes Arrowtown’s Sleeping Child. Our home looks northwest towards the profile of the mountains that wrap around Arrowtown. Locals call it the sleeping child as it looks like the profile of the face of a child lying on its back asleep. https://www.melissa-broadbent.com/florals-1 daily 0.75 2026-06-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66f0ad02da560d20aa2bc343/5fafe42a-e336-4a7d-bee2-e18d86a2c1b2/IMG_4788.jpeg Series - Weddings and Marriage The Wedding Party - acrylic on canvas 1020mm x 1000mm. When a close young family member got married I was inspired to paint about marriage and weddings. This work represents the joy and beauty of the wedding day, and the key players themselves. Black for the men dressed in fine suits. In the top right hand corner a beautiful large white flower is the bride. The three soft bouquets around the sides of the painting are the bridesmaids. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66f0ad02da560d20aa2bc343/57cbcebe-4e71-4965-b1df-8ad92bb5519a/IMG_4199.jpeg Series - Weddings and Marriage Magnolia Marriage #3 and #4 - acrylic on board. A long time ago I planted many Magnolia trees around my Auckland home. My nephews helped me plant some of them which was really special. The colours of the leaves and the gorgeous flowers have always held a special place in my heart. So you will find them popping up in many of my floral paintings. These two small works are a beautiful diptych which would look stunning in any room, whether hung together or separately. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66f0ad02da560d20aa2bc343/057a42ff-71df-4ec5-bb56-3355224cfb67/IMG_3306.jpeg Series - Weddings and Marriage Magnolia Marriage #2 - acrylic on hand-prepared linen on board https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66f0ad02da560d20aa2bc343/1764108714741-3QUXONVUP2HMRB1V6FID/IMG_4721.jpg Series - Weddings and Marriage Flowers on the Altar - acrylic on linen 400mm x 840mm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66f0ad02da560d20aa2bc343/98c36474-a05b-4c55-a9b3-2f5da4930b0e/IMG_2734.jpg Series - Weddings and Marriage Ruffled Roses - Aquarelle Pencil study on 200gsm art paper https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66f0ad02da560d20aa2bc343/1752557231950-QKZVKZDYBV7AXPT4MMN4/IMG_3967.jpg Series - Weddings and Marriage Magnolia Marriage #1 - acrylic on hand-prepared linen on board. This is part one of a diptych, another in my mini-obsession with white magnolias, and is also part of my series on weddings and marriage. The white pair represents the two partners of a marriage on their wedding day. I prepared the surface by covering board with white linen and gesso. The paint sat beautifully on the linen which lent itself perfectly to these beautiful magnolia flowers. https://www.melissa-broadbent.com/gallery-1 daily 0.75 2025-07-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66f0ad02da560d20aa2bc343/596183e1-d221-48a4-9f51-46f00fa86a4e/IMG_3114.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847786047-K0VII4UI7MJZ11Y6MQNT/ceramic+bud+vase https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847785812-1MJRWHO89PP5CTON60CF/ceramic+vase https://www.melissa-broadbent.com/gallery-1/screensavers-and-wallpapers monthly 0.5 2025-05-20 https://www.melissa-broadbent.com/gallery-1/p/8vjkxqrvwlojlh9mcdno5j59giwf6h monthly 0.5 2025-07-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66f0ad02da560d20aa2bc343/b3c26d4e-e686-4f44-a111-62e885601222/28D79307-155F-42AC-B855-F0AC46237A13.jpeg Gallery -
