Original Artwork, in Acrylics & Oils.
Perched atop a mountain, a castle basks in the glow of a dramatic sunset. Is our ‘Midnight Messenger,’ a Red Kite, embarking on a covert mission?
Clutching a scroll sealed with importance in its left talons and a radiant orb emitting potent magic in the right, the kite leads a trail of orbs towards the castle. What secrets do they hold? Accompanying our avian courier is a courageous Hedgehog, adorned with flying goggles and gripping the kite’s harness. Their matching headpieces suggest a shared history of flight.
Guiding them is a balloon, its fluttering purple ribbon hinting at untold mysteries. Where does its path lead? Such enigmas abound in this masterpiece, inviting your interpretation. For those acquainted with my Wiltshire abode, the Red Kite’s resurgence brings unexpected joy. Inspired by their presence over my home during the summer of 2022, ‘Midnight Messenger’ pays homage to these majestic birds.
Throughout my journey as an artist, I’ve tried various surfaces & colours… From acrylics on boxed canvas to the refined oils on board I now employ. Each combination wields a distinct influence over the final outcome. Canvas imbues a rustic charm, its weave adding texture. For intricate details, only oil on board suffices, offering subtle nuances and unmatched ability to blend.
Yet, my attention extends beyond the artwork itself; the frames for Original Artworks hold equal significance. Through experience, I’ve learnt how a well-selected frame can elevate a piece, sometimes even reshaping its interpretation. Every choice, from canvas to frame, is a deliberate step towards crafting not just art, but an experience.
