Inspired by the poem “The Bluebell" by Anne Brontë, this mixed media abstract tries to capture the fleeting beauty and mortality of a bluebell. Composed of oil, soft pastels and pencils on sheer fabric, the artwork is carefully hand-stretched on wooden bars, reflecting with its delicate hues the life span of a bluebell, as the passage of time in human life. Bluebells are perennials, waiting with their bulb underground in ancient woodland all winter, to emerge and bloom again in spring, soak all the sunlight to store the energy in their bulb over winter, where they will be waiting patiently to bloom again.
