new ART series - Colours of South Australia
🗺️ Adelaide Ferris Wheel & Glenelg Jetty
HandPainted Art Inspired by Iconic SA Landscapes
Experience the texture and soul of South Australia through hand-painted oil pastel art. Our new series — Colours of South Australia — brings iconic local landscapes to life in a richly textured, handcrafted format for art lovers, gift seekers, and collectors alike. This 9-piece collection by Bear’s Palette Artworks is inspired by beloved destinations like Blue Lake, Hahndorf Lavender Estate, and the Umpherston Sinkhole — each captured in vibrant strokes that reflect both beauty and emotion. Whether you're a visitor with cherished memories or a local with deep roots, this series is designed to evoke a lasting sense of place and pride.
“As someone who has lived, wandered, and painted across South Australia, this series is deeply personal to me. Each piece began with a memory — the stillness of Blue Lake, the scent of lavender drifting through Hahndorf, the golden light that wraps Glenelg Jetty at sunset. I wanted to turn those fleeting moments into colour and texture — to create not just an image, but a feeling you can hold in your hands.”

Iconic Locations, Captured in Colour
Blue Lake — A volcanic crater lake in Mount Gambier that turns a stunning cobalt blue each summer. Its deep circular stillness feels like looking into another world.
Glenelg Beach — Where golden sunsets meet the Ferris wheel and the jetty lights dance on the water. A nostalgic nod to summer holidays by the sea.
Mount Gambier (Umpherston Sinkhole) — This lush, sunken garden flourishes within ancient limestone walls. A hidden oasis shaped by nature and time.
Barossa Valley — Sun-drenched vineyards stretch into the horizon, glowing in golden ochres and greens. A warm and abundant tribute to wine country.
St Peter’s Cathedral — A Gothic-style icon of Adelaide, glowing in the light of late afternoon. This piece captures reverence and calm in one glance.
Hahndorf Lavender Estate — Rolling purple fields under candy-coloured skies, this peaceful Adelaide Hills scene feels like stepping into a dream.
Fleurieu Peninsula — Crystal waters meet earthy cliffs in this breezy, open coastal scene. A moment of stillness and solitude for the wandering heart.
Kangaroo Island — The lighthouse stands tall above wind-shaped greenery, guiding your gaze out to the Southern Ocean. A symbol of quiet resilience.
Lake MacDonnell — A surreal blend of blue and pink, this split-colour salt lake is like nothing else in South Australia — or the world.
What Makes This Art Series Special?
Each artwork is hand-painted using rich layers of oil pastel you can see — and almost feel. There are no prints here — just raw, expressive texture that brings every landscape to life.
Every location in this series was chosen with intention — from volcanic lakes to lavender hills, each South Australian icon carries a story of beauty, memory, and meaning.
You can enjoy the collection in three ways — as a single framed piece, a curated 4-grid set, or the full 9-grid frame. Thoughtfully packaged and gift-ready, each format is made to inspire and be cherished.
Whether you're decorating your home, finding a heartfelt gift, or collecting local stories through art — this series invites you to bring a piece of South Australia into your world.
