Red Roses

An original mixed media painting on canvas by South Cambridgeshire artist Rachel James

56cm x 46cm x 2cm on canvas

I created this painting in September when the rose bush was in full bloom. I tried a new technique, dribbling ink across the canvas to create a web of rose stems, which looks very ‘climbing’ rose. I really like the end result, it has a darker, gothic feel.

Rachel incorporates texture and collage media into each layer of her paintings; vintage books, newspapers, tissue paper, printed paper, along with acrylic inks, paints and mediums to create depth and texture. She creates her own printed papers and draws with collage and acrylic paint until the colours vibrate.

The painting wraps beautifully around the edges therefore framing is not necessary. It is professionally finished with gloss varnish which can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Each painting comes ready-to-hang.

This original piece will give your home a fabulous blast of colour hung on a light or dark wall.

This painting will be available for sale soon, I am currently moving my shop to a new platform. If you would like to join my Art Supporters mailing list to be notified of new paintings for sale, please sign up here.
