I had the opportunity recently to put some of my original pieces on display at Winchester Framing & Home. It seemed like a good moment to address an older piece that has been squirrelled away into the corner of the studio for a couple of years. I painted this collage of illustrations from well known Winchester sights hoping to create a colourful Summery image that I could use for some promotional items. It did indeed develop into a limited edition print, as well as a mug and postcard design. But the original acrylic and ink work was never fully completed.

With the showcase coming up at the gallery I decided to add to my initial collage, growing the scene out just a little and filling this lovely floater frame with colours drawn out from the original artwork. I’m so pleased with how it looks with that black edge and it really does stand out a treat when featured in the Chesil Street window! Here’s some photos of the finished piece – ‘Winchester Collage’ 70 x 50 cm, acrylic & ink on canvas board.
