To me this is a deceptively sophisticated image.Technically it is very well painted and makes me smile in a way.It is a bit like a very convincing painting of a bank note .a bit naughty ,bit who cares its "art ".

Thanks for your insightful comments David!

Another small square painting for one of Fiona's Family Mosaics. Each small square of the print reflects a particular interest of the person or family involved and a small painting like this looks far better than a 'pack shot'. Drawn with a dip or 'scratch' pen, I allowed the (Rotring) ink to dry before adding watercolour, as it’s resistant to water only when dry. The dip pen gives a lovely, variable line like no other. The coloured shadow was painted wet-into-wet. Ink and Winsor & Newton watercolour on Daler-Rowney 300gsm rough paper.
