The Pink House at Sunset
Stories from the Verandah by Maggie Deall
Created for the Brisbane Affordable Art Fair, Stories from the Verandah is a new collection of original paintings by Australian artist Maggie Deall. Inspired by Queensland architecture, riverside life, warm timber floors, ferry houses, gardens, and the quiet charm of outdoor living, this collection captures the feeling of home in a way that is both nostalgic and unmistakably contemporary.
These works celebrate the beauty of everyday Australian moments. A chair waiting in the morning light. A verandah framed by leafy branches. A ferry house standing quietly by the river. Birds appear as familiar companions throughout the collection, adding a playful sense of life and presence. Each painting feels like a memory paused in time, inviting the viewer to step into a scene that is calm, colourful, and full of atmosphere.
Maggie Deall is known for her bold use of colour and her ability to balance softness with vibrancy. In this collection, she layers lush greens, luminous pinks, glowing violets, and sunlit blues to create artworks that feel joyful, warm, and deeply connected to place. Decorative patterning around the edges adds another signature touch, bringing movement, energy, and a distinctly modern Australian feel to the work.
Stories from the Verandah is a collection about more than architecture or landscape. It is about the emotional connection we have to spaces that hold our daily lives. These paintings reflect the gentle rhythm of verandah living, where nature, memory, and domestic life meet. They are works that feel uplifting, familiar, and full of story.
Perfect for collectors seeking original Australian art, contemporary landscape paintings, and colourful statement artworks, this collection offers a fresh perspective on iconic Queensland-inspired scenes through Maggie’s unmistakable painterly style.
