Spring Light at the Abbey

Size: 16 x 20 inches

The story behind this painting is very sentimental. For over a year, I was stuck in the US for visa reasons after having moved to a new country with no friends or family bar the husband. During this time, there were ups and downs, though, I felt the most homesick after hearing news of Queen Elizabeth’s passing. At this point in time, I truly wished that I could be with my family and friends at home.

I created this piece depicting Westminster Abbey and Queen Anne’s Lace bathed in spring light to mark new beginnings. The Abbey was the location for the Queen’s funeral, but also for King Charles’ coronation. As one book closes, a new one opens.

Created with a combination of brushwork, application with a palette knife, and acrylic paint pens, this original artwork has been finished with a satin varnish for protection. The painting comes ready-to-hang with painted canvas edges and picture wire installed. The piece is titled, signed and dated on the back.
