One of Those Days is a slightly moodier take on a bunch of flowers. A little droopy, a little wonky, and maybe not having the best day! I love that even flowers can look like they're having one of those days. There's something quite funny and relatable about it. A little reminder that even the moody days can still have something lovely about them.
Part of the Small Wonders collection, created for Droply.

Late Checkout was inspired by little moments collected on a summer travelling through Italy and Greece — from a photo I took of a vase shop in Naxos to the soft peach, blue and burgundy colours of Burano.
Checks, stripes, wonky florals and loosely painted vases bring those memories together in my own playful way, rather than capturing any one particular place.
Currently available at And Something Else Gallery, Manly.

Inspired by Life
I'm Anita Robinson, a Sydney-based contemporary artist creating original abstract still life paintings and fine art prints inspired by colour, nature and everyday objects. Every painting begins intuitively, using layered acrylic paint, texture and bold colour to create artwork that brings warmth, calm and personality into modern interiors.
I paint what inspires me — from cactus and cocktails to still life objects with personality and character. My work is all about colour, rhythm, and those unexpected details that make you stop and look twice. Each brushstroke is layered with movement and play, inviting a sense of energy and curiosity.
Every piece is created to bring warmth and vibrancy into your space — something that feels both joyful and a little unexpected. I believe art should spark conversation, brighten your day, and remind you of the beauty in the ordinary. Take a look around in the Shop to see the paintings available, explore the details and stories on the Blog, or learn more about me on the About page — and maybe you’ll find your next favourite piece to live with and love.
