Fiction for tomorrow

I began painting scenes that would become Christmas cards in 2015 and shortly all eight original artworks will go on show from November 26 until after Christmas at All Hallows church in Allerton, Liverpool. All Hallows is itself a famous building being Grade 1 with stained glass windows that are world-famous, having been created by Burne Jones.

In the above paintring a robin is silhouetted against a stormy sky. This is the first card in which I introduces a visual language of shape, form and colour. The bird is painted in a non-objective way in which the subject remains recognizable although the form is highly stylised. Painted in acrylics on textured archival acid-free 350gsm board.
