Cherry Hood Inspiration


I visited the Tweed River Art Gallery for the first time yesterday and was pleasantly surprised to discover two Cherry Hood artworks in the collection. She works predominantly with watercolour creating beautiful portraits. The portrait below(taken from http://cherryhood.co/) is one of the two exhibited in the gallery.
I spent quite a while studying the different colours she has used and layered on to the paper to create this beautiful work.


Some of you may remember this artwork “Gabriella” that was in the Moran Prize Exhibition in Sydney in 2008, which was the first time I got to see one of her artworks in the flesh.
