A little light reading

A little light reading by Louise Thomas
In private collection

Winning 'Best Representational' at the 2025 Hutt Art Society Annual Exhibition, this fauvist oil painting captures a fellow Hutt Art member. The work features a playful nod to some of her favourite titles at the Hutt War Memorial Library. Fauvism uses bold, non-naturalistic colours while staying true to the original values to create a recognisable, yet expressive likeness.

Oil on block canvas, 91 x 61 cm.
