Original artwork description:

Basil's Folly No.11 is part of the Basil's Folly series. No.11 introduces touches of bright saturated color and more expressive, almost confetti like brushwork.

When I originally started the series I was thinking about how children like to pretend and imagine wonderful things when they play – anything and everything is possible. I began thinking about a child’s game that included an invisible folly. By folly, I mean the architectural definition. Initially I 'placed' the unseen folly in abstracted landscape settings but now, the environment has shifted to include bright playful colors and gestural paint handling.

Basil's Folly No.11 :

{+} Is created with acrylic paint on archival 100% cotton 640 gsm heavy weight primed paper

{+} Will be carefully packaged including a pH neutral barrier to protect the surface

{+} Full signature and date on the back, small discreet initials on the front and certificate of authenticity

{+} Fine layer of archival varnish applied to front of artwork to protect/inhibit UV rays

{+} The full paper size is 22h x 30w (56h x 76w cm) however I am suggesting a 1-2" crop / mat allowance for the framer. The interior design image above helps show how the painting could look framed. If you interested in purchasing more than one painting from this series, please send me a messages. I can work something out for you.
