Artwork Description:

Title: Nelly be Blue

Nellie be Blue – 60x50cm Original Acrylic

Acrylic on Canvas, palette knife

I loved making this piece of art, as it struck me that elephants are always blue, but Nellie be Blue is!  It’s an exploration of emotion and power through color and texture, using the palette knife to create the embossing of the shapes and movement.  I have used a rich palette of blues contrasting against a light brown background. Nelly deserves a home!

Artist Bio:

I live in the beautiful village of Carsington in Derbyshire.

My work focuses on creating atmospheric and textured landscapes, but I also create large abstract art pieces.

I am inspired by my surroundings and the fauna and flora of my local reservoir.

My abstract pieces are created with instinct and emotion, always focusing on the drama and intrigue a piece can portray.  Each piece is lovingly crafted, taking care to ensure the mood of a piece is captured through the use of harmonious and contrasting colours.
