Mothers's Gift - Floral Painting by Reigate Artist Gary Meeke

Mother’s Gift

This acrylic painting on canvas took me weeks to paint and is a real talking point, especially its size and the pretty colours.
I used an impasto painting style which means that the paint raises above the canvas giving a 3D effect on the flowers which is lovely to touch as well as to view.
It will most certainly brighten up any room or cheer up your office.

Image Size: 59″ x 39″
Art Medium: Palette Knife Impasto using Acrylic Paint
Brass D-rings to rear with brass wire, so ready to hang on your wall. If you wish me to sign the rear of the painting, please let me know prior to posting.
Even though it’s such a large painting, it’s still very light as painted on canvas with a light wooden inner frame.
Free UK p&p
Original Painting Price: £795

About The Artist

A little about me and how and why I paint.

When I see a canvas, I never get artist's block, I see my next great adventure starting. I'm on a journey without a plan that is constantly evolving. Each brush or palette knife stroke turns into something wonderful that eventually turns into a painting. That Is true art to me, rather than planning every step of the way, but who am I to say?

I am new to painting compared to many other artists and totally self-taught. I never studied at art school and have no art qualifications, but does that make my art unworthy? Can I even call myself an artist? I guess we all have to start somewhere but at least I'm honest enough to admit it and still place great love and passion into every painting I paint.

I have used every painting medium available but found my true love in acrylics. I started painting all sorts of things including trees, waterfalls, fields, sunsets etc. until my wife asked me to paint her a flower painting.
"Paint flowers!" I said, but I gave it a go, and surprisingly my wife was pleased. Since then, I have developed a unique way of painting flowers which I absolutely love. I mix my own heavy-bodied abstract paint and paint Impasto-style impressionist flowers.

After selling my art at various fairs and shows around the UK, I have decided it's now time to build a website to display it in a much easier fashion. I truly hope my paintings bring you as much pleasure as they did for me painting them.

I will post free within the UK. If you live outside the UK and wish to purchase my art, please contact me and I will be happy to find out shipping costs for you.

Please visit my website to view all of my artworks.

About The Artist

John Hart Mills (1936-2019) grew up in London. On completing school, he entered the book trade, studying art part-time at London’s City and Guilds Art School, where his tutors included the sculptor Reg Butler. His interest in music led him to attend the London College of Music, where one of his composition teachers was William Lloyd Webber.

His job as an international sales representative never prevented him from following his twin interests of painting and composing. His interest in oil painting manifested itself early on, especially in portraiture. His marriage to a Norwegian saw him making frequent visits to Norway, where he painted a series of watercolours that featured the natural beauty of the hills, lakes and coastal inlets to be found around Sandefjord in south Norway.

John's watercolour paintings include landscapes closer to home, as well portraits and figures.

Examples of his lyrical piano music can be found on You Tube.
