Raining Umbrella Project for Charity Event

I was recently delighted to be asked to collaborate in a charity art event. Fork Handles Kitchen in Petersfield had the brilliantly original idea of asking local children and artists to paint / decorate an umbrella in this community event. All umbrellas will be auctioned off on the 30th September to raise funds for local charity. Every penny raised will go to charity.

Titled raining colour, my design is an extension of my painting work. My paintings use colour an texture to express feeling and connection to the subject. I really loved every minute of painting my umbrella - I will miss it! I'm sure it will go to a good home though :-) Happy bidding

The South Downs has always been a place I feel uplifted and free. I try to capture this in my paintings - but without planning so the feelings can flow. Available to buy from the paperhello shop.
