I create the picture first in plaster, made from marble dust and a binding agent. This produces a tangibly dimensional look and feel. After being gessoed, I then paint on this relief with high-quality, heavy-body acrylic paint. The end result is a unique and impactful artwork which tends to draw the viewer in.

Cherry plum / prunus cerasifera is the earliest tree to blossom in the UK in February/March. We have it growing wild in a hedgerow in our lane. The blossom is delicate and ethereal with branches arching over one. It is a magical sight! I look at three of them out of my kitchen window - so no wonder I wanted to paint it!

This painting is on a canvas-covered board - no glass required.
The painting has several coats of a satin varnish for UV and dirt protection.
It is signed and dated on the back.
