A mixed-media oil painting inspired by a pearl necklace which had belonged to my mother. I am interested in the Art Deco style and decided on this as pearls are elegant and romantic, and the style fits well with that mood, I think. The background is gold and silver squares mixed with acrylic paint. The rest of the painting has been rendered in oil paint. In the centre is an aspect of a woman whose face starts from the centre of her head purposely arranged to focus on the necklace and earrings. She is made up of simplified shapes, organic and geometric in such a way that highlights the roundness of the beads. The milky quality of the pearls is enhanced by resting on dark purple clothingI; the black hair also does this for the earrings. In all, it has become an overall decorative pattern, which is what I wanted. Framed and ready to hang. Signed/dated on the reverse and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.

I look for the potential decorative aspects contained in the the subject I wish to paint. Then it is about the process of creating an artist's viewpoint, rather than realism itself. This involves the elements of shape, thinking in terms of an overall pattern and then creating a pleasant mood through choosing colour(s). The aim is simply to enjoy the process of creating and hopefully another viewer of the artwork will have an enjoyable experience also. I think the best interpretation of what I attempt to produce is contained in a quotation from Matisse: “What I dream of is an art of balance, of purity and serenity devoid of troubling or depressing subject matter - a soothing, calming influence on the mind, rather like a good armchair which provides relaxation from physical fatigue.”
