Artist Statement: The garden is full of all kinds of love, the children play, we drink tea or gin and yarn.
This painting is Gouache paint, watercolour and Pastel on Rough, Hand Milled, Acid Free, 638 gsm 100% Cotton Paper. The art work measures 26 X 37 cm and the paper measures 29.5 X 38cm to allow for framing. Because the paper is so gloriously thick the work can hand torn around the sides as in the photo shown of another drawing (let me know if you would like this) and then can be framed on top of the mounting board.
The work is sealed with 2 coats of fixative and two coats of gloss varnish to protect it. The work is sent with an artist CV and certificate of authenticity and is initialed on the front and signed on the back. Because the paper is so gloriously thick and hand milled it can't be rolled and so the work is sent flat, covered in glassine paper to protect it while travelling via Australia Post Express. The work is unframed ready for framing.
With framing I suggest choosing a frame that matches your furniture. ie if you have natural timber choose a timber frame, if you have a lot of black trim choose a black frame. But I would never recommend a black or white frame if you don't have a lot of black in your home - normally a soft timber is going to look better. Framing costs vary greatly from framer to framer. I use mobile framing.
