This painting is very different to my other watercolours and was inspired after a trip to St. Ives. I visted a gallery where the flower paintings were very big, bold, colourful and almost cartoonlike in simplicity. As soon as I got home I got an A4 sheet of water colour paper out and did this!
This painting was done for a dear friend whom I no longer get to see :-(
It was my first real go at acrylics and I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out. It developed over a couple of weeks dominating the lounge of the flat I was living in at the time. It pretty much dominated me at the time too?
Hi,
I have set up 2 blogs. One to track my artistic progress and show people my work and the other to share recipes and food experiences with my friends. Feel free to comment! Shelley xx
