Vuvuzela Quince

Still life of bountiful English roses. Discovered in ‘Quince’ florists, Brighton. Quince used to stand outside Libertys in London – I remember I once photographed and worked on a series of paintings 13 years ago based on their phenomenal colour and form flower displays. To find them again was a joy. Here there are Vuvuzela and Amnesia roses. The ground is poured wax and oil carved into – I wanted to have the textures and feelings of the fleshy petals and spiky stems. Not to paint with perfect representation but that feeling of fun and life. 50 x 37.5 cm Oil, wax and mixed media on plywood.
