Description
This painting was commissioned in 2010 by a lady who had viewed my new „Appetite for Colour‟ series
and really loved flowers in her hair but felt it wasn‟t exactly what she was looking for.
I altered the size and layout of the painting to suit what the client wanted and choose the colours to
compliment the clients living room colour scheme.
Client Testimonial:
" Got my first painting today from Anne Ellard art, I absolutely love it, its so unique and different, would so
recommend her for anyone wanting a painting, and I plan on it being the first of many..."
