Mop Bucket Pure Watercolour 24.5 cm x 40.5cm or 10 inches x 16 inches That is an approximate measurement of the actual image, I like the edges and splashes very much so they are staying with this painting.
This is one of those forgotten corners that every garden has tucked away behind the shed or greenhouse. Here is an old rusting mop bucket, a couple of pots with plants struggling on, the water butt and a pile of chicken wire tangled through with last years grass. All those textures and patterns, I couldn't resist but this nonchalant assemblage has taken some very hard concentration on my part, that wire for a start, then all the little holes in the shade mesh, blackberry leaves in the dark shade...phew, I need a drink! |
