Sunflowers, oil painting on board 8in x 10 in.

I did this painting a few months ago - the flowers were in a jug at the bottom of the staircase at The Wooden Spoon Bakery, and the light there is always delicious. Soft, inviting light. Just about everything looks wonderful, on those stairs!


And Laura, who owns the bakery, loved the painting, as well as another of Grapes, which I will post at some point too, and asked for prints for the wall of her new cafe. So I had them enlarged by the Best Printer...In The World... (www.priorypress.net) and they look rather amazing, fantastic colour match. To give you an idea of scale, the original painting is about A4, and here I am next to the print. Huge!

    Delicious, to quote someone I know. Very striking detail, and such a lovely glow.
