This commission had the longest list of things to be included, I was pretty daunted before I started. It was commissioned as a present for both parents, who's 70th birthdays were close together. It had lots of things from their life together to go in. Here is the list I had to work from:
Harlech Castle
Tanforhesgan Campsite
Croyde Bay
Wem
A tent
A blue mini
Salvation Army insignia, bonnet and trombone player
The Salvation Army Citadel in Ashton-under-Lyme
Gold Label beer cans
Express Dairies and Wigget Construction logos
A school badge
The family home
Speedway
A bowl of mussels
A hammer
A record
A bottle of Faustino wine
Children, grandchildren and cats
It took me a few days to work out how to fit it all together (designing the painting is the hardest bit, once I've cracked the design, it's just colouring in)
Despite the random objects to be incorporated, it all gelled together and made a coherent picture which I'm pleased to report was recieved with pleasure!
