The In-between | Oil Painting
Original Art by Tara Cunniffe
The In-between
“The In-Between” is a warm, earth-toned floral oil painting that explores the space between transformation and stillness. Inspired by the structural beauty of a dahlia, this piece unfolds in layered petals of ochre, burnt orange, caramel brown and subtle gold undertones.
The composition feels both grounded and luminous - a visual metaphor for the moments where we pause, reflect, and shift into new phases of life. Each petal is rendered with soft gradients and tonal depth, creating movement that feels alive, almost breathing. Light pushes through the darker folds, symbolising clarity emerging from uncertainty.
Textural brushwork enhances the organic rhythm of the flower, while the earthy palette brings warmth and calmness to any interior. “The In-Between” is a celebration of resilience, growth, and the quiet optimism that sits within transition.
