It was mid July when I saw Liberty London open call for submissions for its 2027 Beauty Advent Calendar. With the deadline for end July & the start of the summer hols, I knew it was tight.
Between day trips, kids at home and the heat, I somehow finished this hand-painted artwork. It took me over 40 hours to complete. A few more to edit digitally.
My artwork was not selected & even though I was upset, I was so happy with my effort.
I always find that working with a set brief really challenges you and I for one, have always found that I learn so much in the process.
I do want to use some of these elements in my own work so can’t wait to see what this develops into.
I will be taking part in the 150 celebrations Elys Wimbledon from 27th to 31st August. I would love to see the support of the local community 💓
