Original artwork description:

I didn't think I'm a labels kind of person but I do like Smeg products however our kettle is leaking and when I looked at replacing it I was reminded how expensive Smeg products are! I could literally buy three new decent kettles for the price of one Smeg...that is how expensive they are... but to my surprise I desire a Smeg kettle and that is how brand led I am!

So this prompted me to paint What's In A Name, can you see what I've done? Clever huh? It looks like a Smeg but it's a Megs it still looks good but probably won't last as long and the letters will probably fall off sometime down the line.

This still life has been painted on a 24 x 18 inch stretched canvas with mixed media and acrylic paints, it has many layers and marks and I have sanded the wall paper backa bit to give it that worn look. The edges are painted light blue and it is varnished and ready to hang.

I've tried to make this a fun still life adding a lot of elements that bring me joy so I hope the new owner will also feel that same joy every day when they gaze upon it.

Materials used:

acrylic paint, pastel, pencil, satin varnish
