Spring showers


Short and sweet show and tell today,
another of my pieces made for my recent exhibition at Skyeworks.
A combination of torn paper and acrylic paint.


It is one of my largest pieces and one with which I had a long battle with the foreground to get right.
I wanted it to look free and semi abstract so it was hard not to get too fussy. The silver pieces of rain which float from the sky are silver leaf which glistens in the light,

    Absolutely stunning! The detail is spectacular...and getting the rain even must have been quite the feat...but the end result is truly an amazing piece!

    Well, it was definitely worth the long battle Morag. Such a beautiful piece and the stag looks so majestic standing there, looking over his colourful territory.

    Torn paper. If I did that torn paper to look like that. It would be a piece of disaster.

    Your work is stunning.
