A brand new shelf portrait painting ‘The Story of Art’ has just arrived back from our wonderful local framers. It was a joy to bring together and celebrate some of the history, criticism and reflections on art throughout the ages that have informed my art practice over the years. Two of my particular favourites are ‘Matisse On Art’, which follows the development of Matisse’s ideas on art through a selection of his writings; and ‘Dear Theo’, Vincent Van Gogh’s prolific letters to his brother, Theo, which cronicle his rough, tough path to art and beyond.
A few years ago I painted a second Childhood themed Shelf Portrait ‘Adventures In Wonderland’, which ended up going missing somewhere along the line – rather a mystery! I came across an image of it while browsing through my archive and thought it would be lovely to add it to my range of Limited Edition prints. It would make a great pairing with ‘When We Were Very Young’, my other childhood themed print – especially for a pair of children!
Apologies… **Please note that I will no longer be at the Northern Illustrated Book Fair in Harrogate this weekend (as I am currently in Copenhagen for my step-daughter’s marraige!).
