This stunning creation begins with flat colour then a build up of modelling materials before the actual addition of all the intricate painting and impasto techniques are built up. To top that I made 3d insects to adorn the work, each one painstakingly hand modelled, painted and varnished.This is a luxurious piece of art and design and the perfect large statement piece for a lover of nature or flowers. PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THERE ARE TWO BUYING OPTIONS FOR THIS PIECE (WITH THE AIM OF LOWERING SHIPPING COSTS INTERNATIONALLY as the framed art is very heavy) YOU WILL NEED TO SELECT THE OPTION YOU'D LIKE FROM THE DROP DOWN MENU PLEASE. Framed in a luxury deep, heavy solid wood frame with deep slip which is a very pale cream colour. The outer frame is black with grain effect. Size: 30 x 24 x 1.5 inches (unframed) 42 x 35 x 2.5 inches (framed) Please note that for this piece I have had to take into account a cost for courier. If you live outside the UK it might be a cheaper option to buy this piece unframed so postage won't be costlY. Thanks very much.
