ABOUT THE ARTWORK

 

2024

Watercolour and gouache

A4

 

Japanese Windflowers are known for their tall, graceful daisy-like pink or white blooms that sway gently in the breeze and flower in the cooler months. They are one of my most favourite flowers. I was delighted, therefore, when asked by a friend to paint some windflowers as a birthday gift for her daughter, Tahlia. The gift was to be a surprise, so photos were taken, in secret, of windflowers Tahlia was growing in her garden and sent to me. Working from a few different photos, I worked out a suitable composition and decided to leave out some background details - replacing them with a deep blue (a combination of Payne's grey and cobalt blue). The deep, rich background sets off the foliage and contrasts the white blooms.

 

This image will be printed on Hahnemühle Photo Rag® paper (308 gsm) to best suit the original medium.
