Beautiful original 1980s commercial professional quality art work for a Christmas greetings card.   Botanical study of a poinsettia, mistletoe and ivy.  Wonderfully finely painted by a specialist professional artist in watercolour and acrylic on heavy artists paper and signed M. Stringer.   

It is painted on white paper, not grey as it appears in the photos.   Comes from a closed down UK factory, so this is a highly professional and skilled original watercolour, NOT a print.   Original greetings card art very rarely becomes available.    Please ask about multiple purchases.

The painting itself is much clearer, sharper and more detailed than the photos can show.   The camera just does not have enough pixels to show the vibrancy and brightness of the colours, the delicacy of shading, and the fine details of the brushwork, so the photos can't do justice to the actual painting.   

As the pictures were for reproducing as greetings cards, the colours had to be very clear, clean and strong, so the actual colours are stronger than in the photos.  

Artists submitted designs to the factory, which were made into greetings cards and notelets; the factory only kept the ones that matched up to their exacting requirements.  The originals were stored for decades and have just become available.

With apologies, the photo of birthday cards is only to illustrate the kind of thing the company produced; they are not included in this listing as they have been sold with the originals.    Please see my other high quality original commercial illustrations on ebay.co.uk.
