This artwork depicts a woman sitting on a bed with a cup of tea, you can tell by what she is wearing that she has just woken up as she is half naked. The cup being the focal point of the piece is done in a pumpkin orange with stands out from the green background. She is looking down with a sad expression on her face. From her posture you get a feeling of sadness. I have helped portray this emotion by using the colour purple as it evokes gloom and sad feelings. The green against the purple is used to evoke a sense of balance. I have then counterbalanced the artwork by using orange as it elicits feelings of amusement and warmth. There is a very contemporary modern feel as the work is done with an abstract style yet you can clearly see the subject matter. I have printed the artwork onto Hahnemuhle Photorag 308GSM 100% Cotton paper. The Giclee print has a sooth matt finish with a slight bit of texture.

South Africa
Lyle Pettitt is a South African born artist who lives in Cape Town. Her love for fine art started at school where she took it as a subject. In 1995 she moved to Orlando, Florida where she furthered her art studies part time at The Crealde School of Arts. Here she took various courses in portrait drawing and painting whilst working as an apprentice in an art studio which specialized in fauve styles. During this period she learned to work with various mediums and gained significant painting experience. She moved back to South Africa and worked as full-time commission artist where she sold over 100 pieces of art but had never really settled on her style until 2000 where she delved into screen printing with pop art being her primary focus with her biggest influence being Andy Warhol. The subject of her work during this period focused on famous celebrities. Many of her works were exhibited at The Lisa King Gallery but unfortunately due to a family tragedy she stopped painting for 4 years. She has since found renewed inspiration and has evolved back into screen prints currently focusing on contemporary pop art primarily representing the female form. After losing herself through grief the realization set in that woman are the life form of every family. This forms the foundation of her subject matter which emphasizes the power of the female form. Her latest work is filled with vibrancy with a focus on bold contrasting colours.
