Wisteria and jasmine - two of my favourite flowering plants - a sure sign of spring.
Each year, I wander past a house around the corner from where I live that has both of these beauties growing side by side, winding into each other's branches and wrapping their tendrils around each other. Every year, they put on a stunning show with a prolific display of violet, blue, white and yellow. I often wonder if the owners know how lucky they are to have this happen or if they've just grown used to it and hardly notice. I hope it's the former.
This painting offers a sliver of what I see, with the house's window peeking out from behind the vines, leaves and flowers. This work is created using acrylic mediums and paints, along with watercolour mediums. The words Wisteria and Jasmine are obscured but in relief on the canvas if one looks closely. This is a multi-layer piece, using both opaque and transparent paints which has been sanded to reveal layers of colour beneath. The sides are a neutral light grey and the painting is sealed and varnished for a gloss finish.
