Artwork description:

'The Dreamer' started from a sketch where I was looking at how the head looks resting in the hands, the hands and arms holding the face remind me of a plinth holding a beautiful object. She looks like a character from an old story to me, maybe an old arabic tale. I took the name from an album by Jose James as it seemed to fit perfectly. ............................................................................................ This piece is partly painted and partly screen printed. I paint the background and sides, print the design and paint any detail of the design that goes round the sides. unlike my prints on paper that are printed in a run and numbered accordingly I dont number the woodboard pieces as i paint and print them one at a time, finishing off painting detail on the sides. so i dont see these as strictly prints but more like one-off pieces as they are hand-made even though i do several of them. This piece has a whole drilled in the back at the top so are ready to hang.

Materials used:

Acrylic paint on mdf woodboard
