Battenberg and Plums
(24" x18", oil on canvas)

Here, my goal was to showcase the beautiful geometry of the Battenberg lace, keeping all other elements secondary to the pattern. Well, the lace proved to be no match for the colour story of the yellow plums and red bowl, and, although not my original idea, both pattern and colour share the spotlight. This is perhaps not exactly the painting I had in mind, but I still believe it works.
