Fluorescent Peonies

Fluorescent Peonies

£1,250.00

Acrylic and oil on two sides of Mylar

43.28 x 35.61 cm

I painted these at my dining room table (An arabescato topped Knoll table which needs a lot more Vikal soaking to get it clean again. Please send cleaning tips on a postcard!).

Long time followers of my work will know of my love of peonies, even if there is a race to paint them before the petals drop! To achieve that deeply saturated peony pink, I experimented with painting on the reverse of the Mylar drawing film (which is semi opaque) with fluorescent pink acrylic paint. It made the oil colours on top really intense! I also painted the greeny background of my walls on the reverse, to knock it back and give prominence to the petals.

10% of the sale of every artwork will be donated to The Murray Parish Trust.

"This project began with my desire to make my work accessible to my friends and followers. I tend to work mostly on big commissions and large projects. It’s great to produce small scale, fun work about where I’ve been and my influences, and rediscover older work again.

I want to make collecting art accessible and open to everyone. As a northern girl nothing delights me more than a bargain, so every so often I release a collection of works, for a limited period, at a very sweet price point.
