| I was on holiday in Spain in early July 2004, and these beautiful clumps of flowers were growing in the terraced garden. I had taken my painting equipment with me to finish off a couple of paintings, but every time I went outside the beauty of these orange and blue starlets haunted me. With permission of the owner of the property I cut them and placed them carefully in the middle of my clothes in the suitcase and hoped they would not be damaged in flight. Hardy things, they remained in perfect condition until I had finished my painting. This painting was featured in the local newspaper and described as an “exquisite picture of an exotic plant”. Bird of Paradise P01. 10 Limited Edition Prints, size A3. (7 available). £50 each. Unmounted, unframed print only, on fine art media + £5 postage & packing. The ORIGINAL FRAMED AND GLAZED LIFESIZE OIL ON CANVAS was sold privately in March 2007. |
