“
When I had nearly finished one of the pieces, I had a discussion
with June Hodgkiss about what my next subject should be. She
suggested doing something with Aintree Racecourse as they had
quite a lot of pieces about Liverpool’s maritime associations but
not too much of the greenery around Liverpool. I decided to do
one of the jumps and the horses attempting to clear it at Aintree
Racecourse, in commemoration of the Grand National race which
I enjoy watching each year.”
“
The workshops had all finished when Gill contacted me and asked
would I do a couple of Superlambananas, as when it was laid out
they were a couple of squares short. She had a Lambanana already
drawn onto a piece of canvas, and I decided to do this as a textured
piece. I had not done any of the many Lambananas so it was nice
to be able to complete one.”
