Original artwork description:

This piece depicts a large scale close up of a white camellia, the delicate urban flower that signifies the end of the long London winter and the start of springtime. The white flower sits on a deep green surround, creating a freshness and subtle warmth to the petals.
This particular camellia grew on a bush that overhangs on a neighbouring street in my area. Each year it's bloom signals the start of my most inspirational season.
This painting contains just 4 pigments, creating a cohesive and calm tonality to the overall piece. The layers of soft white glazes have built up with a delicate feel, recreating the texture of the fragile petals.
The canvas is 4cm deep with painted edges, designed to be hung and displayed unframed.
