"Faithful" is the first in a new still life series that documents objects that the artist Lelliott has treasured over years. Measuring 56x76cm and created using Devils pot black ink on vintage 350gsm Arches 100% cotton watercolour paper, this piece is a beautiful and loved representation of the artist's old cowboy boots.
Worn for a decade, these boots, made of leather and ostrich, are rich, faded, warped, worn and bent.
The name "Faithful" reflects something of a deep desire of connection and constancy. This piece is a testament to the importance of objects in our lives and how they become intertwined with our memories and stories. Through ink, brush and even the paper that has been stored by the artist for over 30 years, Lelliott has created a stunning work of art that captures the essence of this connection and invites us to reflect on our own meaningful objects and memories.
"Faithful" is a beautiful and timeless piece that is a worthy addition to any collection, capturing the essence of life's journeys and the objects that carry us through them.
