| A fellow artist who designs and produces elegant African figures and animals by smoke-fired pottery asked me to paint this South African symbol to complement her work. She provided the live specimens on condition that she be allowed to purchase the first limited edition print. The beautiful lines and curves of this spectacular flower held me in rapture, and I intended to include cross sections of flower parts and leaves. However, when I had painted the flowers and stems and stood back to look, I realised I did not really need the other parts (which I had already drawn), so on the original these have been left as pencil outlines (erasing would have damaged the paper). The limited edition prints do not include the pencil drawings. Queen Protea P09. 10 Limited Edition Prints. A3 (9 available). £30 each. Unmounted, unframed print only, on fine art media + £5 postage & packing. The ORIGINAL WATER COLOUR was sold at the St Peter's & St Paul's Biennial Exhibition, August 2007. |
