This work was privately commissioned by the clients who approached whilst I was painting the Bondi sea wall! The premise behind the piece was to make the existing metal roller door as the entrance to the rear courtyard seem as if it were the third wall of the garden. I mimicked the two side walls in trompe l'oeil style by including the same colours for the wall and the flower beds...full of gardenias and camelias.
The window appropriated the style of white french doors that entered from the courtyard into the house's kitchen. It was quite difficult to get the detail of the window and the leaves of the plants correct given the corrugated surface of the roller door, however I was happy with the end result!
