What it holds
Three bright orange flowers rise from a turquoise two-handled urn, decorated with cobalt-blue triangles, zigzags and spots. Lime-green dots dance across the striped background, surrounded by a deep burgundy geometric border.
She's bubbly, full of personality and quite possibly the most effervescent of my mini artworks!
Story & inspiration
This one started with colour. I pulled together painted paper offcuts in turquoise, orange, yellow and brown, then worked those colours into one of my sketches.
The two-handled urn has become a recurring character in my artwork, and I never seem to get tired of giving her a new look.
The title comes from a night out with my sister, when she asked the bartender for a cocktail that was "fresh, refreshing and fresh".
It's now become our go-to cocktail request at the end of a night out. Somehow, the bartenders put up with us and always manage to come up with something!
Where it lives best
At 20.3 × 25.4 cm, Fresh & Refreshing would be right at home on a bookshelf, bar cart or dressing table, surrounded by your favourite objects.
She's also a great size for a gallery wall or beside your desk.
The 38 mm cradled board lets her stand on a stable shelf or hang straight on the wall, no extra framing needed.

Artist’s Note
This might be my favourite of the minis! I just love the turquoise against those orange flowers, especially with the brown border. And it makes me smile that the title came from one of my sister's rather specific cocktail requests. Perhaps that's why she feels like she's ready for a good night out!
