Just Look at How Far We’ve Come

I don’t think I’ve ever done a picture with so many pets in! And if you follow me on Instagram you’ll have seen how many stages we went through to get the final composition. The sunset sky I copied from the one I saw on Brighton beach just after my Betty dog flew away. And she’s there in the foreground almost as though she’s passed the baton to little Birdy. Can you see your pets in there too?

• Image size 40 x 30cm
• Framed size 61 x 51cm approximately
• Mixed media original using oil pastel, ink and sgraffito on board
• Beautifully presented in a bespoke solid wood frame. Carefully chosen by Sam and Frame Factory Brighton, with a substantial profile for a ‘vintage modern’ feel. Stained in subtle shades of dark brown, lightly distressed, waxed and buffed to a soft sheen with antique gold fillet. Glazed using UltraVue which is a crystal clear, virtually invisible glass offering 70% UV protection
• Photographed without signatures but all pieces are signed on the front (and dated on the back of the picture before framing for posterity!)
