Unframed work



A Pair of Parrots - waiting for the framer...




Bright Hydrangea - also waiting for the framer...

Both are water colours.

Framed Work



I have given this piece the title of -Trillium Mass.
 It's a water colour and I'm really rather pleased with it..
£195





This is the commission framed up, double-mounted and non-reflective glass. 
Rather a large piece which will look good over the Edwardian fireplace for which it is destined.
The client was thrilled with it - what a relief!




I am particularly pleased with this little Paeony. 
My technique does seem to be improving and I am much encouraged...
£125



Tulips - what else???
£175

Commission




This week I have completed a commission for a friend who is opening an upmarket B&B in the village.

The house is early Edwardian and has many original features.

This picture is to go above the fire in one of the rooms and  I hope it will go well with the tiles that are part of the cast iron fireplace.

I chose to create a textured background which I think is more interesting than a flat wash on such a large area and I have been very pleased with the way the lilies turned out.

It is due at the framer's at the end of the week. I shall then be on tenterhooks until it is 
delivered and  - hopefully - admired....





This is what the tiles look like.

The small butterfly in the bottom left-hand corner is a lovely touch...
