‘Japonica’ – blossoms on stone wall

‘Japonica’ – this painting was inspired by a walk around a quiet area of Edinburgh. The spring blossom just captivated me as we walked past and I had to try and create it back in the studio

Oil painting on handmade Gesso board, image size 390 x 570mm

In the framing workshop

Colin takes the presentation of his work very seriously! The entire picture is created from scratch.
He lovingly prepares each Gesso board to conservation standards, and uses hand-made oil paints from a specialist supplier. He also builds each individual frame specifically to complement the painting, and often finishes the frame with special wax varnish which he mixes himself. Some of the frames will have gold leaf applied to further enhance the effect.

Price includes framing and delivery to a UK address.
