Out of Office is a contemporary watercolour painting. Part of The Art of Summer – a collection of nine original paintings, celebrating the feeling of slowing down, noticing more, and finding joy in life’s simple moments.
Inspired by the feeling of switching off and embracing a slower pace, Out of Office celebrates the quiet joy of making time for yourself. It’s a reminder that rest doesn’t have to be earned, and that some of life’s best moments are found in simply slowing down.
Created in a classic delft-blue colour palette with a modern twist of relaxed, expressive layers of paint.
Hand-painted using professional watercolour paints on 300gsm acid-free watercolour paper (which is off-white and has a slightly textured surface). The paper is approximately A4 size (including a white border around the piece of approximately 1.5cm). The painted area is approximately 18cm x 26.5cm.
The piece comes mounted and backed (but unframed) in a smooth off-white 30cm x 40cm mount.
I will sign and title the piece by hand, both on the paper (in the white border) and on the mount. You will also receive a certificate of authenticity to prove it is a genuine original.
As Out of Office is an original watercolour painting, it is unique. However, there may be a limited or open edition of prints available of the same artwork and name, at a later date.
Any photos showing the piece framed are ‘mock-ups’, and therefore just a suggestion of how the piece might look framed and on a wall. Sizing in relation to other objects is estimated. Any mounts shown are just examples and not the exact mount you will receive (the colour and size may be slightly different, so please read the mount information above for details). It’s also important to note, mount colours can vary slightly between batches.
Though I have done my best to show a true representation of the artwork’s colour, please allow for some differences between what you see on screen compared to in person.
As this is an original watercolour painting, there may be some paint marks that have bled into the border and some tiny holes along the outer-edge of the paper (where it was stapled in place during creation), but these will all be hidden by the mount. The paper may also be slightly warped in places – this is simply due to the painting technique, and part of an original painting’s charm.
