Camellias Grow Near Water

Gently glowing with opalescent light Camellias Grow Near Water is a remarkable painting from Slade School alumni and leading British Impressionist artist Francesca Owen. Drawing inspiration from her surroundings in the many places she visits allows Francesca to lay down on canvas the images that come into her mind. Using a multi-layered approach this piece has been sculpted into a stunning textured work of art.
