Catherine Redmayne, Floral Still Life, Watercolour, 1990 - An original watercolour painting on paper by Catherine Redmayne, dated 1990. The composition is a fluid floral still life featuring a large white lily with orange anthers in the lower left, accompanied by yellow blooms and a dense cluster of purple flowers, likely wisteria or lilac, occupying the right side of the frame. The work is executed in an impressionistic style with visible wet-on-wet techniques and a bright palette of greens, purples, yellows, and blues. The artist has signed the work in purple watercolour in the upper right quadrant as REDMAYNE. The verso of the backing board features two typed paper labels. The first label is headed ORIGINAL PAINTING BY CATHERINE REDMAYNE and specifies the medium as Watercolour, followed by a handwritten signature reading Catherine Redmayne and the date 1990. The second label provides framing advice, noting the use of economical clip frames and recommending professional reframing with a traditional mat. The painting is currently housed in a glass clip frame without a mat.
