Art Fair Oct 2024
I am thrilled to be exhibiting with the Hunter Gallery at the Affordable Art Fair, Battersea Park from 16th to 20th October. There will be a large selection of my animal and still life paintings including two large flower paintings, Lupins and Irises (40 x 40 inches) and Lupins and Alliums (24 x 48 inches).
Blue January and Hidden, pictured below, have both been selected for the ‘Best Artworks Under £500’ wall at the art fair.

Lupins and Irises Oil on canvas 40 x 40 inches
Usually I paint flowers in a vase but wanted to make a large scale design rather than a botanical study. In preparation I did several pencil and charcoal drawings followed by scale studies in pastel and oil. The oil study is also on a deep edge canvas quarter the size.
