Behind them, printed layers of sky blue and sunshine yellow shimmer with texture, while flashes of green umbels and leaf shapes peek through the gaps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReal botanical forms are printed into the underlying layers, then worked over with acrylic, pencil and charcoal. The printed marks keep the fine detail of the real plants, while loose, confident brushwork gives the blooms their swagger and movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe painting has a bold, rowdy feel, like the guests who arrive late, take over the dance floor and somehow make the whole evening better.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRunning up the right hand edge, written in a small hand, is the line of prose:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e“The beauties are blowing up the party.”\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTucked along the edge, the phrase is there to be found rather than announced.
