Original artwork description:

This painting has a nostalgic quality to it and reminds me of the little poetry albums we used to have in Germany when I was growing up. Each girl (yes, it was almost exclusively girlie) would have a ‘Poesiealbum’ at primary school, ask others to write a quoted verse and to add an image. These images were usually floral or they showed pudgy angels. The albums were quite precious and were carefully guarded by each owner.

I enjoyed bold brush strokes, palette knife work and more detailed mark making in this abstract floral painting. I integrated light collage elements of tissue paper dyed in ink to add further depth to the painting. I always mix my own paint, using quality pigments, with many different hues of whites, greens, pinks, blue grey.

The large canvas has deep edges that have been painted in a complementary colour. Hooks and cord are attached at the back – the painting is ready for hanging.

The painting comes with a signed certificate of authenticity.

Please note that the image of the painting in a home interior is for demonstration purposes only and not to scale.
