Original artwork description:

‘FLOWERY BAND” is an acrylic and dye painting on unprimed canvas. It is 115 x 92 cms in size, unframed and stretched over a wooden frame with steel corner braces. It is part of a series of works which focus on ‘garden’ environments. Memory is central to my work. I rarely make art work directly from what I see at ‘the time’ more likely from recollections of places and events. ‘Flowery Band’ is an emotional response to a situation, in this instance an observational study of a very familiar garden. This ‘fleeting glimpse’ was composed with gestural pace in order to capture ‘the moment’. The subject is specific, however the visual language functions by association rather than resemblance. Here the colour and mark making evoke the presence of a joyous gathering of family. The subject is physical and toys with the psychological involvement of a living presence.
The painting is shipped in a robust custom made cardboard crate (same as those used to transport large screens). The painting is bubble wrapped to protect the canvas. Further wrapping is made with corrugated card. A wooden frame is placed inside the cardboard crate to preserve the structural strength of the packaging. Each painting is insured to its sale value. Shipping costs within the U.K. take into consideration weight and insurance. U.K. shipping costs for this artwork are £80
