Ben Nicholson line drawings I and II

As you are well aware the work of Ben Nicholson was a key reason as to why I decided late in life to explore creating my own artwork. These pieces I created in 2012 when I was desperately pushing myself to learn to draw.

Mood I - in the style of Jackson Pollock - SOLD

This is a working sketch which formed part of a presentation to a commission opportunity for a client who owns a stunning property on Beach Road, Sandbanks.

The final canvas measured a whopping 8' x 6' which I am glad to say the client was delighted with despite me having worked on it for three months due to layering the paint and drying time!!

This piece you will see is a much smaller piece and is set in a wonderful wide frame and hand painted in off white and will add a splash of color to any interior.

Mood I



SOLD
Various paints on wood board and measures 16.5" x 14" x 2" framed
