Wilbur (Outerworlds series) Acrylic

Wilbur the turtle glides across the canvas in shifting tones of turquoise and green. His presence is defined by bold yet intuitive brushstrokes — some sweeping, others compact and textured — that create a living sense of motion. Overpainting and blended hues bring his form into focus, while jabs of colour lend impulsive energy.

The unpainted edges of the canvas frame his world with stark contrast, accentuating the raw process of creation. Wilbur is playful and agile, a vivid fragment of the sea captured through instinctive mark-making and colour’s natural rhythm. Supplied unframed, ready to hang.

Jelly Buckingham’s paintings are held in private collections across Europe and each comes with a signed Certificate of Authenticity.
