English Rose Garden

As a present to my friend Grace (and one of my best patrons), I painted a wall motif on the chimney breast of her Edwardian front room. She prepared the surface and painted a slate grey background, which I then covered in wild rambling roses and cow parsley. I also gilded a few of the flowers with copper paint, to catch the afternoon sunlight.

I think this has been my most favourite mural to date!
