From My Easel
There are times when I find myself drawn to arranging just a few simple things and allowing them plenty of room to breathe.
For Held in Stillness, I brought together two vessels whose shapes and colours I loved - the softness of the handmade jug against the rich, reflective blue - and added just a small sprig of foliage. The fallen leaves in front seemed to complete the arrangement without needing anything more.
I loved the restraint of this composition. The quiet space surrounding the objects became just as important as the objects themselves, while the subtle light, reflections and textures gave me plenty to explore with paint.
For me, it is a painting about noticing what is already there: simple things, gently gathered, beautiful enough when we become still enough to see them.
About This Composition
An intimate still life in a soft, earthy palette, Held in Stillness pairs handmade vessels with delicate native foliage. Rich navy, dusty pink and muted greens sit against a warm neutral background, creating a calm and timeless piece suited to both contemporary and traditional interiors.

Canvas Prints
Canvas prints are available rolled or professionally stretched and finished in a timber float frame, ready to hang.
A beautiful choice for larger statement pieces, canvas offers a subtle textured finish while faithfully reproducing the colour and character of the original painting.
Stretched canvas without a float frame is also available on request. Please contact Heidi for pricing.
If selecting a framed canvas option, float frames add approximately 2.7 cm to both the height and width of the selected print size and are approximately 5.5 cm deep.
Paper Prints
Printed on premium archival fine art paper, these prints beautifully reproduce the colour, detail and texture of the original painting.
Paper prints are supplied unframed and carefully rolled for delivery, giving you the freedom to choose a frame to suit your own space and style.

Every Heidi Emma print is accompanied by a personally signed Certificate of Authenticity.
Where a print is part of a Limited Edition, the certificate will also include its individual edition number (for example, 1 of 30).
