Original artwork description:

The Offering:
Flowers and figures on the exterior - open the box to see the lovers!

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 floral, tree theme with a nude figure of a woman.
I have used a decoupage technique, applying Japanese paper and painting on that as well.
Inside the box I have painted a man and woman; her is carrying her very long hair, draped over his shoulder as she turns her head to look at him.

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
