Summer Cocktail
This bold, bright and colourful artwork marks a return to my creating mixed media relief artwork on wood. Following a break of about two years, during which I researched and explored other techniques and a variety of painting skills and media I was -quite unexpectedly- inspired by some ceramic sculptural plant pots. In actual fact I became obsessed and began creating and developing a design that I explored in various versions of itself until it called me to create it in a relief artwork on wood. Initially I called it [or rather the series of designs and patterns I created] 'Obsession', due to the obsession I developed with this design, repeating it in various colour-ways. Later on, following a question I put to my followers on instagram a friend suggested I call the watercolour and gouache piece I did 'Greek Cocktail', which I liked and is what I let it be for a while. But while creating this relief art version of it, which took the better half of the summer working through the designs to complete it, I decided on 'Summer Cocktail' to mark the period of its manifestation. Et voila!
In my blog post I go into more detail as to the inspiration behind it.
