Study 3
Acrylic on canvas board; 34cm x 39.5cm, framed. Hmm, no idea what fuchsia this is; obviously kicking myself for not also photographing the exhibit card at the same time I photographed the actual plant. Have therefore avoided embarrassing ignorance by giving this an ambiguous title (it was actually the third fuchsia painting I had done but am also quite happy to call this 'Study in Red and Purple' if that sounds less pretentious).

Acrylic on block canvas; 14.5cm x 14.5cm, 3.5cm deep. Anyone know what fuchsia this is? Could be a Lillian Annetts but not entirely sure.

Acrylic on canvas frame; 20.5cm x 29cm. The image doesn't do justice to the painting and the painting doesn't truly do justice to the flower. A gorgeous fuchsia making me feel privileged to know the grower and an absolute joy to paint. £65

Acrylic on canvas frame; 20cm x 25cm. Wish I'd grown this but, alas, it was someone else's and I just took a photo of it. Great to paint, though. £65

Acrylic on canvas board; image needs updating as now mounted on white board and framed in black. Measures 66cm x 55.5cm framed. One of the 'Sweets' series and awesome to paint except I can't stand liquorice so couldn't scoff the fruits of my labours once I'd photographed the subject matter. Except those bobbly ones, they're quite nice. And those coconut ones as long as the middles are taken out. £200

Fineliner on watercolour paper. Someone pointed out to me years ago that I didn't have any abstract stuff in my portfolio. Not a huge fan of abstract art but they had a fair point and doing this picture was a lot of fun.
