Original version
There’s nothing quite like owning a piece of original art. You can clearly see the ink and brushstrokes and feel the layers of collaged papers and paint all the lumps and bumps that make it real. You can connect directly with the energy that went into making it...
Artist’s quality paints and materials are always used and paintings are given a final coat of transparent UV varnish on completion. This keeps the colours bright and lively. Each original is signed either on the front or the back and comes with a signed and dated certificate of authenticity.

Stretched Canvas Print version
A ready to hang, professionally printed and stretched giclée canvas print. All artwork has been specially designed to continue around the edge of the canvas (gallery/museum wrap) except where it didn’t suit the image – in which case the sides of the canvas are white. Most canvases are stretched on 38mm bars, except smaller canvases which are on 19mm bars.

Rolled Canvas Print version
A top quality, rolled canvas print – perfect for stretching or framing yourself. All prints have been specially designed to fit standard size wooden stretcher bars. We allow for full gallery wrap on 38mm stretcher bars: the image continues around the sides for a seamless look, rather than being mirrored which is the usual practice. You can frame it behind glass in a standard size frame or have it professionally stretched onto wooden stretcher bars to create a ready-to-hang canvas. Or, if you fancy a bit of DIY, you can stretch your own! Here’s a suggested frame suppliers in the UK - canvasandstretcherbars.co.uk

SKU ART-ORIG_0069_BAL-ACT Category Tag Styles: ,

This little original painting has the signature colours, textures and imagery of the Greek Islands. A whitewashed wall – bright blue sky – and a handmade clay pot.

It was painted as part of a group of recently completed 100 paintings entitled ‘Inspired by Greece’ in which I explored various themes and mixed-media techniques.

Created in artist’s quality acrylic paints, on 300 gsm watercolour paper, the painting measures 12 x 12cm (4.75 x 4.75″) and comes in a white mount measuring 23 x 23 (9 x 9″).

The painting is being sold unframed – the mount supplied fits any standard 23cm square frame. IKEA make a 23cm square RIBBA frame which fits and is a very simple and economical option.

Balancing Act looks striking hung on it’s own, in a simple white frame.

Another option is to display it with a couple of other paintings from the same 100 series and show them as a small story group.

Quintessentially Greek… whitewashed walls, blue pots, red geraniums and an old electricity meter! This was drawn on-location in Vasilitsi in southern Messinia, but it could equally have been a scene found in the Greek islands.
