‘Blue Tit’
1994Framed original
8" x 8" including frame Sold
For all my bird and flower paintings I always use very fine Egyptian cotton. It’s smooth and beautiful to work on and I can get the delicate fine detail I want in the cracks.
In warm weather while I am working on a piece, I put it in the freezer between dyeings so that I can get the crisp fine cracks in the wax that I want for the texture of the background. It is not unknown for me to come down from a hard day in the studio, open the freezer to choose something for tea and find a very cold stiff piece of waxy Batik still in there!
Sadly this piece is sold but if you would like to talk about commissioning one like it, email me
