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...
