Original artwork description
This is the first of my "Daisy frames" and I've moved closer to making each element more three dimensional by moulding them using watercolour paper.
I have always loved daisies and as a child I used to make endless daisy chains, so I feel they make a wonderful choice for an artwork.
They symbolise childhood innocence, purity, simplicity and joy, and in Old English, daisies were referred to as “day’s eye” because at night the petals close over the centres and during the day they re-open.
The phrase “as fresh as a daisy” originated from this, signifying that someone had a good night’s rest.
Each flower has a gold leaf centre and some are mounted on a tiny foam-board plinth to raise them up from the surface and create interesting textures and shadows.
Materials used:
Moulded watercolour paper, foam board and gold leaf in a deep box frame glazed with glass
Details:
- Relief on Paper on board
- One of a kind artwork
- Size: 11.8 x 11.8 x 3cm (framed) / 8.8 x 8.8cm (actual image size)
- Framed and ready to hang
- Signed on the front
- Style: Organic
- Subject: Flowers and plants
