marigold

Back i my teens i used to paint these pixies on card and give to friends and family to mark special occasions. They really do suit any format and so i decided to see how a little pixie on canvas would be received. She's bright and cheery and i hope she finds a home on a little person's wall who will love her.

She has been painted on a small winsor & newton brand canvas in artist quality acrylics. i tend to favour matisse and atelier as my acrylic brands of choice. She is painted in flat bold tones which enhances the childlike appeal and simplicity of these pixie images. She measures 200mm x 253mm and the canvas is 35 mm deep. i have yet to figure out the cost of postint so am waiting until i do so before i put it up for buy now:D
