OK so I didn’t post over the weekend because I was being diligently creative.

Those who follow me on twitter will know that my BFF has recently bought a cafe and I am doing the artwork so I spent all weekend creating 4 large canvas works.

I have not done much ‘commercial’ art as such before like this.  Stressful I must say, perhaps it is the fact that it is for my friend so her opinion counts more, I don’t know, but I was shaking by the time we got to the big reveal!

So here they are, about 15 hours of work on 4 canvases of 600 x 1200 – another 2 in this ’series’ and then another 6 possibly with a different theme for another part of the cafe.

The photo’s don’t do full justice, the butterflies are made from pages in a street directory and are dimensional on the page, the flowers are leather and embossed paper.  I have a limited colour palette by the client’s request.  It was fun, stressful and so invigorating all at the same time!

So my post for today…my diligent physical creativity days!

I would love to know what you think!
