About this artwork
An original watercolour picture in portrait format painted 19.04.2017. It is on Bockingford water paper 150lbs.
Originally intended to be a flat abstract picture dominated by a central globe, it took on a life of it's own. Depth and structure appeared as more colours were added.
At the top of the globe, a small black colourations appeared which reminded me of the core of an apple.
Set against a dark van dyke brown background, a strong sense of light… was created which works well for the overall picture. Just off centre left, a small white figure, enhanced by strong shadow, hovers above the surface. This could be interpretated as a small figure of venus.

Credentials
- Featured in gallery curations
I, Stephen Alpe, a self-taught watercolourist, started painting in watercolours back in 1986. Impressed by the artwork in ornithological books illustrated by artits such as David Reid-Henry. I strived to achieve the same level of excellence, but, where as, Reid Henry made it look like the subjects were about to fly off the page, my initial efforts looked like they had been carved out of stone!
I did, in time improve and was able to illustrate a few calendars and magazines.
On moving to the UK in 2007, I moved into painting landscapes and news items that caught my imagination. From 2012, I began to notice the works of the street artist Banksy. Other artists that I admire include Wassily Kadinski, Joan Miro and Pol Ledent.
