Spring fever

Description

This abstract composition presents a layered blend of earthy tones—greens, browns, and yellows—interwoven with delicate, hand-drawn botanical elements that add subtle contrast. Textured patches and splashes of paint create a dynamic sense of depth, while occasional hints of text break through to introduce an urban touch. The interplay between organic lines and geometric shapes conveys a tension between nature and structure. A distinctive piece to enhance any contemporary interior with quiet complexity.

Personal note from the artist:
“It’s spring fever. That’s what the name of it is. And when you’ve got it, you want – oh, you don’t quite know what it is you do want, but it just fairly makes your heart ache, you want it so!”
– Mark Twain

“Spring fever” is one of a series of 3 paintings inspired by spring – with a nod to my husband’s constant battle with the invasive weed angelica.
The original is a layered mixed media work on a deep cradled wood panel. Media includes acrylic, collage, charcoal, graphite, ink (and perhaps some others I’ve forgotten in the heat of the moment!).

About the print:
• Acid- and lignin-free and made to last.
• The natural finish enhances vibrancy and depth.
• Textured matte surface that enhances depth without losing clarity.
• Handmade wooden frame from Italy.

Border Size Explained
The passepartout (also known as a mat or border) surrounds your print, creating a professional presentation and adding visual depth to your artwork. When you select a passepartout, your print is produced one size smaller than the size you selected to fit perfectly within the border.

On framed prints the passepartout is a real piece of acid-free matboard. On prints ordered without a frame, the border is printed into the print file instead, because a loose mat cannot be shipped or mounted without a frame. Your customer receives one sheet in the selected size, with the artwork printed inside a coloured border.

Window sizes for our passepartouts:
30×40 cm (window: A4)
40×50 cm (window: 30×40 cm)

Important: Please note that some passepartout window sizes have a different aspect ratio than the outer frame size. For example, a 40×50 cm frame with a 30×40 cm window uses a different proportion. In these cases, your artwork may need to be cropped slightly to fit the window dimensions properly.
