Description
I painted this picture for an exhibition theme of ‘Simple Pleasures’. I wanted to paint really kitsch, quirky and fun still lifes of ornaments and trinkets I have collected over the years. They all hold different memories and looking upon them lets me reflect on happy times, travels and loved ones.
I love how it turned out, it’s very playful and you can imagine the different stories in it, a dozing mouse in a teacup reminds me of Alice in Wonderland. I like a good pun and ‘Love Brews’ title comes from the hot chocolate steaming away in a cup covered in hearts.
Watercolours, acrylic paint and pen on paper, 2021
