What's it worth?


Waterlily, Bateman's.  27 x 20 cm.   Oils.  Click on it to enlarge image.

It's done!  Three cheers and a big red rosy apple!

Time for my signature and to 'abandon it' as Picasso said.  I'll put it on TradeMe next week.*  
I'll give it a coat of lacquer to really bring out the colours, make it shine, and protect the surface.

I've started the next one.  It's below. A lemon yellow hibiscus with a pink centre.  It's dark ochre/orange because it's the underpainting.  The idea is that it will 'shine' through and 'lift' the pale yellow.  This one is 32 x 24 cm.



* Unless you want to put in an offer for it between now and then.  Email me ...

    I offer three packs of Aunt Bessie's frozen Yorkshire puddings! This would give you thirty six mini Yorkshires. Just two minutes in a hot oven and serve with gravy. Mmmmm! After all you can't eat Art can you?

    Superb picture by the way you clever, patient woman!

    Thanks folks.

    YP, I'm thrilled you value it so highly. I might yet take you up on your offer. But how will you keep them frozen for nearly 12 thousand miles?
