April Cherry Blossom (2020)

Original media: Inks, gouache, acrylics, watercolour, loose pigment, collage, gold thread, 23 carat gold leaf

Painted as part of The Nightingale Project: a series of trees and nature inspired by lock down in The Calder Valley from March 2020 to March 2021 (and the brief escapes from it over the summer).

This the spectacular cherry blossom in the garden above my house. I look up into it through the skylight in my studio.

Available as a mounted and signed limited edition print – unframed. Hand-finished with gold leaf and gold thread.
