Found these two paintings in storage does anybody want them both for £35.00 (plus postage and packing)? I need to clear out our storage units. These images are made using cardboard stencils and refer to garden design….as an asthmatic gardens make me wheeze….even in small doses plant life triggers allergic reactions….even small plants…. Bonsai is not an option. Both have been exhibited and were painted in 2004 and have the exterior dimensions of 360 x 310 mm the frame including frame. Materials = Acrylic, Oil and commercial paint mixed with cod liver oil (if I drank Cod Liver Oil I would probably die as I am extremely allergic to fish) – marker pens on wooden frame.

Instead, bonsai practice focuses on long-term cultivation and shaping of one or more small trees in a single container and the aesthetics of the object. A bit like painting really
