About
A Delicate Fantasy
A Delicate Fantasy is the watercolour work of artist mu (Mu McDonald-Bell). Watercolours inspired by flora and fauna, with a delicate fantasy.
Previously created in mu's studio aboard a narrowboat, living on water inspired original watercolours of flora and fauna of the British countryside, infused with a delicate fantasy. Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror also wove strands into the tapestry of murpworks afloat.
Now based in Glastonbury, watercolours still occupy the hours in the tower. The current focus is Schrödinger's Coffee House.
A Delicate Fantasy was born from the desire to create watercolours that go beyond a view or a representation. The normal and commonplace are filtered through thought and led into a world of delicate fantasy.
mu, together with rp, make up murpworks.
Practice
Fine Art
mu studied Fine Art and it is with this background that she aims to pursue A Delicate Fantasy. Whilst many of the works developed here do not fall into the category of Fine Art, over time narratives will be developed with it purely in mind.
The understanding that Fine Art is the purest of things, seeking elevation above everyday life, co-exists precariously with the commercial art world. The challenge is to pursue art rather than commerce, because when we pursue art, we pursue life itself.
But then again, we have to eat...
