Squiggle

Well you see I have grandkids. These children are the light of my life, and when I am painting and they turn up, any serious thoughts of art in my head have to wait.

I am called Poppy Pat to my grandkids and to all their friends. So what I am saying is that when they ALL turn up. I start to PLAY with a new canvas as they all watch, sometimes.

So this painting is a collaboration of ideas and colours from the kids. I do the work they pick the colours.

It is a very colourful piece with a lot of movement and fun. Mostly FUN.

I hope you enjoy my Artwork Descriptions as they just come from my heart. I have seen that other artists waffle on about their art, I just tell it as it is. Full Stop. With a bit of humor.

This painting is 60.5 cm wide and 91.5 cm high and 4 cm deep. It is finished with a gloss varnish which enhances the colour and protects the paint.

On the back is a signed and dated Certificate of Authenticity. It is wired ready to hang and has felt cushion to protect your walls.
