Sometimes a painting just presents itself without me having to think or plan it in advance.
This gorgeous little piece was such a painting, a real joy to create.
I adore snowdrops and so it seems do my collectors, any new snowdrop never stays long in the gallery shop.
I was trying out a new tube of gold paint for the first time alongside this dramatic magenta to create this shimmering backdrop to a single snowdrop bloom. The stack of three books were taken from the personal collection I keep in my studio for inspiration.
The photos here don't really do it justice as the gold backdrop creates a wonderful glow when it catches the light.
There is a video on my instagram page highlighting how it was created and showcasing the effect light has on it.
