Watercolour on paper
Signed on the front.
This painting featuring a Blackbird, is a continuation on a theme from a series of works titled 'Motif' which explores pattern and identity. I come from a design and print background and my art practice tends to spill back over into design territory on occasion. This particular pattern is an adaptation of a traditional Japanese motif and features heavily in my works on paper in various incarnations.
Used at this larger scale with a colour gradation of yellow ochres to rust, and with the addition of the stylised Stephania plant, It exudes (purely by accident) a 1970's Pantone era design vibe, and would look amazing hanging on the wall of your Mid Century style home.
