Alyson Sheldrake is a local Algarve-based artist that has quietly become known for her own unique style of acrylic painting, combining local landscape features and objects within her own 'New Wave' style of bright waves of colour and lines.
She was recently requested by a client to work on a private commission which stretched her style into a new and exciting direction - the brief was simple: "can you paint our delightful and very pretty Algarve villa and can you add your own 'New Wave' style to the sky and paths?"
This was the first time Alyson had been asked to combine her styles for a modern House Portrait and she was so excited to be able to do this - and the resulting painting has rapidly become one of her most talked-about and admired pieces.
The client was also very happy with the jpeg images sent over to her for approval:
"WOW Alyson - I absolutely love it. Amazing. And the detail is fabulous. I'm off to get it up on my iPad as I'm looking at this on my iPhone which will not do it justice. You are super talented. Thank you so much xxxx "
And the painting was duly gift-wrapped and delivered to the lucky recipient in time to place it under their tree for Christmas.
Alyson is very excited about the direction this painting has taken her work, and is very keen to be able to replicate this new style again with other similar work in the future.
