Recently I received a brief that demanded I capture the spirit of a rather beautiful Country Estate called Muddifords. Muddifords loved my drawing style and my "skyline" work. So, I set about creating their own timeline, taking elements of the estate that were key and combining them with elements of the estate that captured the owners humour and sense of fun.
If you look at my work there are always little things designed to make you smile; an airballoon with the clients waving, birds colliding, fish jumping. The little things in life are important to me, the aspects that make us appreciate the world we work and live in with humour and grace. With Muddifords it was easy to capture the mood of the estate; ducks waddling around, tractors stopping for lunch, the dogs waiting for guests at the gates, the architecture and the space. Particularly the gorgeous sweeping driveway. It was beautiful.
I worked with Becky Joiner, marketing guru, who turned the commission into a delightful Paddington Bear inspired space to celebrate their upcoming open day. I just love what she's done, particularly the little details like the floating cloud and Pip the dog in the window. My commission can be seen on their website, all that remains is for everyone to visit and tell me if I've captured the essence!
Muddifords Court Country House is open!
Their official launch is Friday 2nd March, call 01884 820023 for more info.
