Acrylic inks on Two Rivers hand-pressed paper.

I really love to paint dragonflies. These delicate creatures work so well on my abstract ink backgrounds.

I used a traditional brush and nib-based pen and high-quality lightfast inks on hand-made watercolour paper with an abstracted background. This has been painted in Acrylic inks on specialist Two Rivers hand pressed 300GSM paper.

With this style of artwork, I create the background ink study first and then looking at the abstract I decide on how best to incorporate an animal, bird, or insect into the spaces available. Rather like looking at clouds, I let the composition of the abstract dictate the outcome.

It is painted in teal and is accentuated by the carefully selected cream frame with tasteful faux wood grain effect. This piece is in a floating frame style.

Easily posted UK and abroad and will come with tape across the glass for protection.
