1908: Wild Roses. Acrylic on Box Canvas
Artist Code 1908. Wild Roses. Completed 27th June 2019. Original acrylic on 100% stretched cotton box canvas, size 9″ x 12″.
Painted especially for my Cambridge Open Studio (COS) exhibition at The Black Horse, Dry Drayton from 6th–28th July 2019. It was lovely to meet the owners of the Restaurant, Amanda and Colin, who made me feel very welcome with all my bits and pieces, and I thoroughly enjoyed myself there. I can heartily recommend the food, so any time you are near Dry Drayton and fancy a spot of lunch or dinner, do visit THE BLACK HORSE
I hurriedly painted three acrylics on box canvas and sold two of them at the exhibition, which was most encouraging. These are the two other little pictures in the trio, which were sold:
I am still trying to come to terms with Acrylic paint—I do not like the feel of it much, but know I should persevere because it is such a “giving” medium, much easier to correct than oil or water colour!
I love wild roses; each late spring I really look forward to seeing them pop out all along the hedgerows, such a gorgeous pink!
