An illustrator’s biggest joy is when a brief comes along that you just know is going to be FAB! That’s just what happened when interiors showroom, Barnbury, got in touch asking if I could install a window for this year’s Chelsea Flower Show. The theme for CFS this year was food, and Barnbury wanted something inspired by the Amalfi coast; think lemons!
I really love painting large scale paintings with BIG brushes and large, statement illustrations. Florals and fruit just lend themselves beautifully to a more fluid and painterly style, and bigger brushes. The window was all painted free-hand.
