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...
