Over the last few weeks I’ve been working on some Food Paintings for an interior design company. They are doing a re-furbishment for a North East Chinese restaurant. There are 9 Food Paintings required which include various ingredients for the Chinese meals. I’ve chosen to work from life as much as is realistically possible. I’m keeping the paintings small, working in watercolour. They will be reproduced as giclee prints to the bespoke size required.
As part of the service, I will also be working with the interior designer and the restaurant owner to ensure that the prints are framed to match the paintings and the new decor of the restaurant. The original paintings will be available to see on www.alanreed.com once the project is completed. They would actually make attractive paintings for one’s kitchen. Food and kitchen interiors, along with cafe’s and restaurants are a popular genre. Here is a link to a blog post which selects some of the most famous food paintings.
I’ve never actually exhibited any of these paintings, so f you are interested in seeing any, please visit our Studio and Gallery.
To see the range of frames and mounts that I have available, please visit the Studio & Gallery in Ponteland.
