This original painting by Ginny Lloyd is titled Palmetto Painting and dated 2011, as confirmed by the artist’s handwritten signature and accompanying artist label affixed to the verso. Executed in acrylic on canvas board, the composition measures approximately 16 x 20 inches (visible), and is presented in a simple wood frame, with overall dimensions approximately 23 x 19 inches.

The work depicts an abstracted, close-range view of palmetto fronds rendered in layered tones of vivid green, chartreuse, and deep forest hues. Lloyd employs sweeping, radiating brushstrokes that emphasize movement, rhythm, and organic structure, transforming the familiar Florida palmetto into a dynamic, almost kinetic form. The overlapping leaves create depth and visual energy, reflecting the artist’s interest in natural patterns and environmental motifs.

This painting aligns with Ginny Lloyd’s later studio practice, in which she frequently explored regional South Florida imagery alongside her more widely known Fluxus, performance, and mail art work. While Lloyd is best recognized for her conceptual and participatory projects, works such as this demonstrate her parallel engagement with painterly abstraction and place-based subject matter.

The verso bears a printed artist label identifying the work as Palmetto Painting, dated 2011, acrylic on canvas board, and noting an original insurance/for-sale value of $580. The label further states that the work includes an artistamp sheet, reinforcing Lloyd’s consistent integration of mail art elements into her broader artistic output.

Ginny Lloyd is a Florida-based artist associated with Fluxus and experimental art practices, whose work spans performance, mail art, artistamps, photography, and painting. Her works are held in private collections and have been exhibited internationally within Fluxus and contemporary art contexts.
