This painting is inspired by a childhood book titled Blossom and Boo - a story of two best friends, written by Dawn Apperly. As a child, this was my favourite book. Blossom and Boo became my imaginary friends. Now, as an adult, I still think about them, and wonder who they would be now that they’d grown up, like me.
Here they are pictured sharing a bottle of wine. It’s a passionate conversation, maybe even serious. But the mood is lightened by the ridiculousness of a bear and a rabbit drinking wine together. I’ve made the painting large so the viewer can feel like they are sitting at the table, too. What do you want to talk about?
