Still Life 2

This is a Post-impressionism and Cloisonnism inspired still life. Looking and exploring different styles and techniques that I have not tried before. Very much inspired by Paul Cezanne and Vanessa Bell. This was a completely made up still life, this is an imaginative composition as this was not my main focus with this painting. I wanted to create it this way to enable me to be more free with my application of paint and in the style generally as I tend to get too bogged down with detail if I'm painting from an image or display. Restrictions did not apply. This painting was aimed to focus mainly on form, and colour, I did not care for accuracy. I used larger brush strokes and layered the paint on more thickly this style enabled me to be able to complete the painting quicker and gifted me freedom that I enjoyed.

My Christmas 2017 Card Designs

Below are 5 designs I've painted for Christmas cards this year. They are all oil on canvas sheet. Each design is on a small scale of 15cm x 20cm approx. My inspiration was local wildlife and local country landscapes. These have all been printed in to greeting cards measuring 4 x 6 inches and come with a plain white envelope and a cellophane cover sleeve for protection. They are for sale on my folksy shop (link to shop is at the top, on the right side of this blog page)
