The next paintings in my masters series depict the 1920's and 1900's

Hello everyone,
‌ 
I hope this message finds you well. I'm thoroughly enjoying the winter season and I am excited to share updates on my latest Master's project paintings with you. But first, I want to reassure my Wave painting followers that more wave pictures are on the horizon once I complete my Master’s studies.
‌
As I embark on my last term of study later this month, I’d like to take you on a journey through two fascinating decades: the 1900s and the 1920s.

The 1900s This late Victorian era was renowned for its ornate designs. One such example is a delicate tray cloth I discovered, made of fine cotton with subtle floral embroidery and a charming lace border. 

Additionally, I came across a beautiful tea service by Blairs China, England. It features an ornate floral design hand-painted on intricately shaped china vessels with finely scalloped edges. ​

The biscuits of this era included Jam drops and chocolate digestives, the latter being a relatively new addition to the biscuit assortment at the time.

I’m eager to share glimpses of my painting process, layer by layer, along with some detailed shots of the finished pieces.

​The 1920s This decade marked the transition from Art Nouveau to Art Deco, introducing geometric design elements into patterns.

A perfect example is a pulled-thread cotton tablecloth with intricate geometric and leaf shapes. ​

​The tea service from this period, designed by Standard China, England, showcases both geometric and floral design elements.

Many of the props I use come from my collection and reflect my English heritage. The biscuits I chose for the 1920s are Jaffa cakes and Anzac biscuits. Jaffa cakes are still around and a family favourite which evoke fond memories of my early adulthood in England.

  I’m delighted to share work-in-progress shots of this painting, along with detailed views of the finished piece.

The completed works will be on display at QCA in November, with more details to follow soon. To stay updated, please sign up for my newsletter as social media channels may not always show you all my posts.
