More than a Decade of Pearl

2018 was the year in which Pearl turned ten. The very first Pearl hangs in my studio and reminds me to paint from the imagination. Since her debut in 2008 she has made many friends around the world. Remarkably Pearl's eyes have been closed for all those years. Whether it's SCUBA diving in Malta, shovelling snow in Canada, grooming a bull in Spain, or attending a film festival in the UK, she's got plenty of appeal but there is also something sweetly goofy about her. Pearl epitomises feminine elegance and poise, attracting friends from all walks of life. Occasionally you'll see her in a painting with the enigmatic Edmund but the two haven't met. If they ever do, will they set the world on fire?
