Odd Birds

Odd Birds Acrylic on canvas board, mounted and framed in black.  Measures 56.5cm x 66.5cm framed.  (Apologies for the quality of the images - I couldn't get a better picture without everything reflecting on the glass.  Actual painting is obviously brighter and sharper than this.)               Having discovered the joy of acrylics, I wanted to paint something fun and colourful.  This is meant to have a 'flat', cartoonish look and shows a community of birds not necessarily living in harm...

Quality Street

Quality Street Acrylic on canvas board, mounted on white in a black frame.  Measures 66cm x 56cm framed. So much fun painting this!  Lovely colours, different textures... nothing at all to do with having to eat the whole tin (in the name of art) and also managed not to drool on the painting while I was doing it, which always helps.        £200

Abstract Tree

Posted on by Mel Hendy
The beech tree This is a beech tree because I say it is and because I have changed the form and perspective by interpreting the esoteric qualities of the existential components into a contemporary manifestation of symbiotic juxtaposition between the natural world and the metaphysical accidents of the mind.  It will be a beech tree until I decide it isn’t, when it will then return to being a plate of baked beans. Not really.  It’s just some lines and colours.
