Description
My version of the famous Bubbles was inspired after Sir John Everett Millias and is in pastel on tinted paper, rather than oils, my version has deeper larger angelic eyes, with a more cherubic feel about it. The work was originally called; A Child's World, and was used as an advertisement for Pear's Soap by Lord Leverhulme and then was renamed Bubbles, the bubbly curly hair and blowing of the soap bubbles fitted it's new title along with the soap. This version of my work includes a filter in tinted blue monochrome the bubbles being an allegory for champagne rather than soap for a celebratory winter greeting with the snow like colours, and it's digitally enhanced in advertising news poster style micro dot graining, this was difficult to do and took a great deal of processing to get it just right, it was worth the effort as I was surprised how good it looked in this colour and style...looks almost ghost like, reminds me of an illustration in a Dickens novel, I have also created a lovely Xmas card from this colour and design from my original bubbles pastel would look good in any blue decor and winter theme especially matches well with white pale blues, greys and silver
