KING ARTHUR'S CHALICE floral art print

King Arthur's Chalice with Flowers of Gold? Lots to tell about this one.

I'd always planned to paint this chalice. It's a real thing that sits on a shelf in our dining room, a shiny wooden ornamental bowl and pedestal, with metal studs and decoration around the outside.

When I saw it in the shop, I knew I had to buy it and I also 'knew' at the same moment that it was King Arthur's chalice. At least that's what I called it. I just enjoyed letting myself believe that it was, that's all.

So the time came to include it in one of my Fantastic Flowers paintings. I purposely painted it from memory as I thought I knew it really well.

I used metallic inks to give it a subtle luxurious sheen instead of painting it as the original wood. And I blobbed and swirled the gold, bronze and copper around to indicate the medallions and metalwork. The flowers I created to mirror the colours and shapes of the chalice. So, my painting was done.

I love it because it's a painting of King Arthur's chalice, which sits on a shelf in our dining room... But you know what? When I went to see how well I'd remembered my lovely ornament, I couldn't believe it, I'd hardly got it right at all!

Purposely bold, bright and lively, my Fantastic Flowers prints are a selection of colourful statement-piece artworks taken from my original paintings in acrylic inks. Created with movement, energy and freedom, the Fantastic Flowers collection is the epitome of expressive floral art.
