This recent ‘Jelly fish Moon’ was a private commission, it combines both my figurative and abstract work in a single piece, it took three and a half months from concept to completion and 18 different reverse layers went into completing the effect of this large round panel, which includes, ink, paint, pearl lustres, enamel, 24kt goldleaf and silver leaf all reverse applied to the glass.
It’s always a nervous commitment embarking on a private commission and needs a good imagination to be able to visualise the finished work. Each commission I’ve worked on is very unique and individual, some people just like me to ‘take over’ but with this piece I worked closely to the clients specifications, supplying sketches, colour and texture examples and in this case a study jelly fish panel. I used reference materials supplied by the client and I also visited the space where the piece will be displayed, with a similar size and colour example.
This piece was an absolute joy to work on.
