Original artwork description:

I've been lucky enough to spend much of this summer in France, at a rustic farmhouse full of inspiring things and an equally charming garden. The equivalent of a sweetie shop to an artist! The garden sail, creating much needed shade, captured my attention, with the lovely sweeping lines suspended above the terrace, and punctuated by tall hollyhocks. A black semi-feral cat took to visiting and we named him Noir. Naturally, he became the focal point amid the charming scene! The use of a palette knife to introduce a small degree of texture adds both depth and interest.

This painting is sold unframed but is suitable to do so should you wish. I do not varnish my paintings , as I prefer the slightly chalky look of the oils as laid down. If you would like it varnished before sending, I can do so at no extra cost.

The painting is signed, dated and titled on the reverse and initialled on the front.

I ship internationally using an insured, tracked and signed for service. Please note that payment of import duty/tax is the responsibility of the buyer.
