Tete a tete and brown paper 2
8''x8'', oil on gessoboard
I did the same ones but wanted to include this wallpaper. It is very similar to one in the bathroom of the house we always went to in the Isle of Wight as children. I have fond memories of Steephill Cove near Ventnor. I’d love to go back but am worried I might find it changed. Long summer days paddling in rock pools with a net on a bamboo rod and then back for a bath – this wallpaper with its leaping fish, ducks and swans feeding my imagination.
Definately on a roll with these, love the wallpaper behind today’s too, lily pond is a theme I’ll be working on soon
Thanks Nigel. Look forward to seeing your lily pond.
