Oil on canvas, stretched and ready to hang.

Those who know my work will recognise that this is an enormous piece compared with my usual work.
It was done as an entry for the Eastbourne Art Prize in March 2019 and was shortlisted as one of 5 competing works in this size.
It was painted to the theme of "An inner city eden" and is full of symbolism, however it also works, and is very enjoyable as a limited palette still life, which creates the illusion of another window on any large wall. The title reflects the rather retro feel conveyed, with sash windows and sepia tones which beautifully offset the brilliant blues and yellows of the central composition. The kookaburra in the tree outside gives a focal point out of the window.
The colours are hard to capture as they change with the light, however the first/title photo is the most accurate..
The edges are painted a deep blue-black and it is unframed so as to minimise shipping costs.
