And Now This Paintings
£10.00
Four limited edition hand made paintings on salvaged, cut Birch tree wood of the title of the poem ‘And Now This‘. A range of colour ways and applications of colour directly onto the interior of tree. A large part of said Birch tree came down in the Autumn storms last year. If fell on the car park of our local supermarket. Surrounded by people packing their cars with bags of groceries I picked it up and, with some difficulty, put it in the boot of the car. It only just fit. It is an estate car. You know, I often marvel at my wife’s ability to blink no eyes when I do some of the things I do. Stored in a dry place for a few months I eventually managed to make many parts of it with a mind to painting on the flat surfaces. A while after that, and because people seemed to respond to the poem ‘And Now This‘ I painted those words on a set of four standy uppy parts of the Birch tree. All because, this.
Let me know which painting you would like in the order notes during checkout (by the colour of the background) or if you’d like me to pick for you.

About the maker
Gavin Birchall started painting in early 1979. Probably. His mum is a trained artist. He left the caps off her oil paints as an infant and still feels guilty. She helped him build a giant frame for his first ‘proper’ piece of art in his late teens. Which was instrumental in his wife thinking him attractive when they met. She says. So art is pretty important to him really. He has studied and worked as a pharmacist, entrepreneur, company builder, designer, web developer, marketer, photographer, writer, meditation guide, personal coach and I guess now, an artist. He lives with his wife (she stayed) and teenage children in Preston, England.

It won’t meet some definitions of perfect but it is perfectly imperfect.
