I had only met Esme Lower a couple of times before I met her again while she was painting this piece, and every time she has been ever so friendly and patient with my rambling conversation. She painted this wonderful, piece with a couple of friends on a rather nice sunny afternoon (remember those?), and she has done a really great job.
The piece spells out ‘MELO’ which is the middle section of a conflation of her first and second names. The characterful letters are beautifully decorated with flowers, and the whole piece has a hint of art nouveau style about it. This is a really neat and tidy piece, quite different from a lot of the writing we see in Bristol, which has a strong artistic flair running through it. More to come from Esme Lower.
