Last year it was #Oxfordshire landscapes and still life - this year I have focussed on self-portraits and portraits, working at my new studio at Magdalen Road Studios. I am now taking portrait commissions.
I will be part of a group show in the studios during #oxfordshireartweeks and also have work with #SouthOxfordCommunityArts, Lake Street, off the Abingdon Road.
RE: The Patriotic Collage Jubilee Still life, oil paint & tissue collage on board
I made this still life after being given a 'Jubilee napkin' for the late Queen's event. By chance, I had a Christmas cactus which flowered unexpectedly and seemed to be of a very similar colour, so I put the two together.
The painting will be in the #SouthOxfordArts show as part of #OxfordshireArtWeeks. Price £200.
Born 1956. Lives in Oxford.
