About the Collection

Mini Verano is a vibrant collection of small but impactful oil paintings, each one infused with the bold colors and textures that capture the essence of summer. From radiant reds and fiery oranges to soft lavenders, sunlit yellows, and luminous pinks, the palette celebrates the joy, warmth, and energy of the season.

The textures are inspired by the tactile beauty of summer itself - think of the delicate folds of petals, the ripple of waves on a calm evening, the shimmer of heat rising from sun-baked ground, and the rough yet beautiful surfaces of seashells. Each painting reflects these fleeting sensations in abstract form, inviting you to pause and reconnect with the spirit of the season.

Though small in scale, these works are designed to make a big impact - bringing light, vibrancy, and a touch of nature’s rhythm into any space. With Mini Verano, everyone can carry a piece of summer into their home interiors, no matter the time of year.

Each painting is created in my home studio, where I work with a range of tools from well-worn vintage brushes to sweeping palette knives. I build up the surface slowly, layering oils with care and allowing generous drying time between each stage. This process offers the space to pause, reflect, and respond, a rare luxury in the pace of everyday life. The final layers are sculpted with a mix of oils and cold-pressed beeswax, giving each piece its unique texture, depth, and luminous finish.

Depending on location, UK couriers are available to select at checkout and international shipping options are also available. Any questions about shipping, please get in contact at: hello@gemmacolson.co.uk

Alternatively, collection from the studio in Farnham is also available.

Each painting in the series is created on a box stretched canvas - dimensions are 20cm x 20cm, with a depth of 4cm. The oak floating frame is 1.5cm width around the edge with a 0.5cm shadow gap.

Each painting in the collection is signed and titled on the back. Every piece purchased will be accompanied by a signed and dated Certificate of Authenticity for your records.
