Original artwork description:

Les Fleurs:
Flowers and face on the exterior - two faces on the interior ...

This is an oblong wooden box with little golden fasteners.
It was painted in my latter years in London and packed away when I moved to Lincolnshire in late 1992.
I've only recently unpacked this and the three others that I made at the time.
They've never been exhibited before so this is the first time they've been made available for sale.

The exterior is painted in a pink, white and dark blue, in a stylised floral theme winding around the box along with one pale profile.
Inside the box I have painted two pale profiles conversing.

The whole box is varnished so giving a subtle sheen.
As well as in my studio, I have photographed it on my sitting room mantlepiece; I've tried to capture the subtle sheen of the varnish too.

Signed and titled underneath the box.
Packed carefully and sent with a Certificate of Authenticity.

Materials used:

acrylic and paper on wood, varnished
