When First We Met (2)

About

The Painting - "When First we Met...."

This painting is an original watercolour on Bockingford Cold Pressed 450gsm paper, using professional Windsor & Newton Water Colour paint and the finest sable brushes. It took 131 hours of work and was completed in November 2023. The painting measures 76cm x 56cm and framed 106cm x 86cm.

​

The horse heads selected were from reference photos of royalty free images and each head was from a different reference, where the image itself was of different size and context. After reviewing many, many images, I selected these two in order to create a "boy meets girl"  type look & feel. The putting together of these images was my invention. I had to scale to match and to select a neutral background to enhance the overall effect.

​

I have supported the St.Catherine's Hospice for a number of years by doing pro-bono portraits and other work which has been auctioned with ALL funds raised going to the hospice.

The St.Catherine's "Tiger" raised £2,500 and was sold to an individual investor.

The "Remembrance Tree" raised £5,000 through the generous contributions of many. It hangs in the hospice lobby area.

​

This latest painting was sold through an auction process, culminating on 9th May 2025, with all proceeds going to St.Catherine's Hospice. It was sold to a private investor for £1,000.

Thank you.
